work.

Yes, all 4 fenders have dents in them but that one also had paint
peeling off enough that surface rust was forming so I sanded it down
and sprayed it with what I had to keep the rust at bay a little while
longer. The sunroof leaks BADLY when it's raining hard so I got
decently soaked on my ride home, too. The interior of the car is in
better shape than I am, but the exterior of the car is like me.
Leaves a lot to be desired cosmetically. :-D
