That's why I believe it was rear ended. That and you can see a difference in paint not too far from that area that covers the whole back end. The color has more gold in the paint than the stock Claret. Also the bumper is fading to hell. Has been since before I bought it. I'll take a look behind to see what I find. This car has been needing a paint job for awhile and I've been trying to fix everything on the inside before I paint the outside.

My father used to professionally restore Mustangs, so he knows all about rust. He has the equipment to fix it too. So I was hoping to get a little insight on things to watch out for SVX-wise when repairing. Maybe share any tips as well. But, in the end this maybe a sign to just paint/fix the whole outside at once.

Mike621 want to share tips on completely restoring a Claret?
