Seems to clean up well. Many obvious bodywork issues?

Is it a campaign?
Looks to have tinted glass?, a factory roof and the 17EW chassis number.
Although all three don't mean it was definitely a Campaign!
Its the option codes sticker you need to determine if it was.
Good luck with the resto. :thumbs:

Looks like it just needed a good wash!
Doesn't have the leather steering wheel of a campaign.

Little corroded on sunroof cassette,n/s/r wheel arch and small hole at the front of roof,a little hole on outer sill both sides at the front,other than that looks pretty good and really straight.

Top work so far. Looks like usual areas of rust for a tintop on the floor and sun roof, seems you are doing it right 1st time, are you doing the work yourself?
