This photo shows the front suspension after it was dropped. Many parts of the car are in excellent shape. The front suspension, however, is in fair shape. It has quite a bit of surface rust but no serious cancer. We'll have to decide whether to blast what we have or restore a nice "desert example" if one can be found.

One point of interest is the location of the "hidden VIN". So far we have not been able to find it. On U.S. late cars, it is hidden by the right side of the front suspension. We cleaned the area in question but did not see anything. Perhaps the hidden VIN is a requirement for the U.S. DOT only.
