Removing the badly placed bumper, the grill is slightly crooked

My first 59 Buick was so rusted these inner fender pieces were non-existent

Removed the rear bench to check the floor for rust...the photo speaks for itself

I can actually see the form of the floor in this car!

The electrical wires under the door sill still appear in excellent condition.

Some removal work:

I note that the original gaskets are still inside the fenders.

The fenders are really in excellent condition only a few little holes but no patch after more than 50 years, the attachment points are perfect.

The rocker panels are both redone but I can deal with that.

These are the first pics of the power windows removal, the whole structure is tatty including the gear and the window guide inside the door.

Fortunately, the motor, although not very healthy should recover. I'm missing the passenger side motor, anybody out there have one for me?

Wow!

Welcome aboard Mirko. Your work is spectacular. It seems a shame to cover the panel you made for the passenger rear armrest.

You should post your car parts wanted in the Buy / Sell forum ( Buick - Buy/Sell ) since it gets more attention than here.

Thanks for the compliments, but I reproduce parts for my cars. then if someone were to serve ok.

Thanks Mirko.
