I'm pretty sure the paint is original and that's just undercoat, but as I can't inspect the car in person I can't be 100% sure.

>why do you give a shit that its a virgin?
I don't care that it's a virgin, I care that some guy that did a handful of tasteless half baked mods to what was a virgin car, then dumpsterd all the original parts, and then thinks that makes it worth fucking $9k. That's really the problem with the red one. I asked him to send me the VIN, he didn't respond. His photos on Facebook marketplace carefully avoided showing the torn vinyl on the drivers seat which is clearly visible in a prior listing I found for the same car - which makes me wonder what else he's hiding. I get a bad feeling from the seller and that's the main problem - there's just no telling what he's hiding if he'll hide such a small thing.

I'm not planning to gut the thing and make some kind of hooligan deathtrap out of it. I'm trying to build a driver with 200-300 casual lazy hp and a nice wide range manual transmission for croozing. I want a good interior, and while upholstery + carpet + headliner are easy enough, door panels and dashboards and the like aren't so easy. It's nice to have a clean starting point.

>just pony up the cash for a volvo 240
You mentioned that in the last thread, and said you'd had three of these cars and sold them. You never said why you sold them, or explained why a 240 would be a good choice. I don't know much about them - I've never owned a Volvo, and the only euro cars I have any experience with are an R107 and an E39. I loved both those cars but desu they were a bit of a pain in the ass to work on. I'm concerned a Volvo being similar, and harder to find parts for, but maybe I'm off base here.
