Found a few pictures of my Ranchero in California before it was shipped over here in 2007 and a few shortly after it arrived. The California photos are the ones where it looks warm & sunny & the British ones are where its damp & cold. Got to say it does look nice and solid in the photographs, filler certainly hides a few horrors!

How bad were the filler horrors?

One front fender had nearly 3/8" of filler over some accident damage then there was plenty stuffed into rust holes in the door bottoms, rocker panels, rear arches, lower rear quarters and under the rear lights. Not bad for a 50+ year old car, but that suede green paint job was hiding plenty! I didn't import it, I bought it from the guy that did.
