Agreed there is not many photos of things you would want to see...

The car has some nice rare early tiger features, the short shifter, black dash with wood wheel.
Also like the AR libre wheels .. the more I see these the more I like them.. pity so hard to get in 14*6 with an appropriate tiger offset.. all Datsun pcd and offsets in 14s.

Things that would make me want more detained photos... there are lots of easily corrected unfinished and unsorted stuff on the car ... So either they are quick fixes to make a much nicer car... Ot indicates other things that are more important are not sorted

The bumpers are both heavily twisted upward.. especially the front....so maybe things are not quite straight... Or very twisted brackets.

The door window seals are missing, the stainless inner sill trims are missing.. footwell kick panels are missing, many of the switches are twisted around, despite the body and engine bay being painted all the same colour the boot is matte black... Maybe some later rust repair?

That said the profile of the sills looks ok.. but photos are so blurry it's hard to see the photos pinch welds.

Overall could have been a decent but that with some details work will be a very nice early tiger.
 
The bumpers look like stainless steel ones from Viet Nam and yes the brackets must not be right for them to turn down like that.
