Looks good, with a new front valance it will look fantastic. These cars look so much better when they don't have the ugly side moldings.

Lots of used front valence available. The interior looks really clean.

How long was it sitting there in the grass? It looks amazing now. What did it take to make that old weathered paint look so good?
