Sporty!

You betcha! About as sporty as a Panzer.

I think a Panzer has a better turning radius.

Ah! That electronic ignition takes it out of Stock (but not as bad as the blue carpet in the trunk!)

Seriously tho - is that pittance of (what appears to be) rust beneath the driver's-door the worst of it? I saw a bit in the trunk, but haven't an x-ray monitor to see beneath the blue '70s shag. If that's the extent of it, some POR-15 and perhaps a bit of tinwork (and an alignment check on the body panels and subframe to make certain whomever replace the RF 1/4 did their job properly) and you're GTG!

Also, I don't believe a Panzer would survive a head-on with this thing.....

That stuff on the bottom of the drivers door is just dirt build up on top of the chrome trim.

under the shag carpet is your typical trunk metal. Just mostly surface rust from what I can tell, and not much at that.

About the only real rust spot is a spot about 2" big on the rear quarter panel. It is bubbled, and does not appear to go all the way through.

As far as the Panzer... you may be right. If I bring it out to a meet, the cones will be quaking in fear.
