tell ya the truth the trunk pics don't show too much of it. the wires are easy to move out of the way from being sprayed. i see the tunk latch is painted. thats only got two bolts holding it on. guess that took too much time to take off?
the wiring is a mess in both pictures you have there. i would be affraid to look under the dash and see what was butchered under there.
you have plenty of opinions saying that its not worth the money and to offer less. but you keep rationalizing the price.
go look at the car in person. personally the pictures are horrible to really judge what kind of shape everything is in.
i always have a hard time buying the i bought the car to help a buddy story. i would be very leary of who built the motor, who installed it ,and all of the body and paint work. does the guy have any pics of it before he painted it?
not trying to bash the car but you wanted opinions and i'm being as honest as i can. pointing out things that would throw up red flags if i was looking to buy myself.
