Why is it so hard for sellers to post a complete set of clear photos on their ads?  No pictures of the engine bay, interior and barely a description.  I like what I see  but the vagueness of it all is disturbing.

Where's the 15% that isn't stock?

15% of the parts are missing?

Nice-looking car, though.

Is there a lot of wood in this car, forming the door openings? Both doors do not line up with the body lines. Would have guessed this year of car would be steel forming the door pillars.

[Bloo]

These are wood bodies with a steel top and a few other steel parts. The reverse hung doors are hanging on wooden door posts. When these get bad, the doors fall off. A lower corner of the door hanging out is indicative of looseness in the wooden door itself. There is a diagonal rod with an adjuster to pull the lower corner in, but it can only do so much. It's not uncommon to see the wood completely missing in the bottom of a door. You can't pull something in that isn't there. The cowl end of the door jamb is steel.

Most cars like this have had the original "sunburst" pattern on the wheels sprayed a solid color years ago by used car lots.
