worst one ive seen in the flesh has gotta be my dolpin grey chromie every panel had majour rust and bits or random primer that the previous owner used to touch up rust :mad:

the windcreen, bulkhead, and both sunroof drains used to fill the car with water it stunk, it was like a "massive" pond in the foot well.

took the carpet out and the floor was almost non existant
