I have to replace the antenna, it was broken when we got it. Since then it has had the uber-rare German-spec coat hanger antenna option, until it fell off when I brushed the snow off it.

The major damage is to the paint, but there are a couple spots that will require attention. This part of the fender is crushed and rusted.

$The sunroof is from another car, wasnf\'t replaced since we\'ve owned it, but you can tell from the different shade of paint. The seals are cracked, worn, or missing but amazingly it hasn\'t leaked. photo Sunroof_01.jpg$

$When the body gets repainted, I want to have the windshields taken out so the paint won\'t peel around the edges. Also, I can replace the old seals, which have turned pink over time. photo Sunroof_03.jpg$
