As Steve said best model bug they made.

Looks like its had accident repairs on the RH side and front and whoever did the paint just painted straight over the top of the old paint on the bonnet and side and didn't even primer that RH front guard.

As far as I know they seem to be in fairly decent condition... Not alot of rust on the whole car either, only a few small patches and the front guard.
