Too bad for the selller that he didn't do a better job on the presentation. I see he is a eBay newbie.

It is always better for ebay newbies to sell smaller things first and find an ebay veteran to sell their cars. This car was for sale here about 6 weeks or so ago, and I thought it sold then, but must have failed to make reserve. I do not know the car or the seller.
OK, what's it worth finished and standing tall? $30,000? How do we get there??
1) Replace rusted sheet metal; $1000.00? 2) Strip and paint; $8,000.00 to $10,000? You'd be amazed what you find when you take them to bare metal! 3) Chrome bumpers; $800.00 4) Rechrome pot metal; grill $800? parking light housings $125ea? headlight rims; $100ea? taillight housings; $100 ea? other pot metal pieces $400? 5) Paint miscellaneous parts like steering wheel? $400? 6) Detail engine and engine compartment; $800? 7) Misc mechanical repairs; $??????.00

I need to find your plater, he's damn cheap BTW, you forgot 6K for the interior. The car is worth maybe, 12-14K as it sits, add 20K plus to restore.

^K should be about right. The Pahntom kit is around $4500, install headliner $400, seats $600, then the carpets and the rest.

That front fender "paint blem" looks like major rust to me. The trunk rust looks pretty minor though.
