18. Nose is not nor does it appear to ever have been crushed
There are several things that are not working properly for one reason or another I know the grounds on some of this may be the issue however, I'll try and compile a list for purpose of full disclosure:
THE BAD:
1. The temperature gauge is not reading-pinned at 0 runs at normal operating temperature has not overheated since I've had it
2. The heater core has been bypassed-not sure why and the blower is not operating
3. There are a couple of small tears on the seats
4. The speedo and the tachometer are weird
5. The tires are old Pirelli P6 hold air for long periods time right now but I personally am particular about this
6. There are some rust spots on the body in the normal spots (undercarriage, rockers, and there are a couple spots here in there on the shell)
7. The top has a hole in the rear window
8. The windshield wipers do not work
9. The gearbox has a hint of a touchy 2nd gear just have to hold it at the gate for a split sec on speedy take offs
10. The hazard switch does not want to stay off
11. Drivers door lock appears to have lost the cir clip on the inside
12. There is some spotty rust but this car is solid and straight to my inspection
