I don’t mind the seats actually I always have liked a red/black combo I just wish the dash of was black along with the steering wheel.
Bubbling I know is rust forming and I’m personally not going to be concerned about it unless if the bottom of the car and frame are rusty then I’ll walk away but if it really is a California car it’s going to be relatively rust free. I’ve had a few cars in the past with the same issues and it never was anything serious.
I know a good body and paint guy in California I’ve had 2 cars painted with and both together cost me less than 5k and he guarantees his work for 5 years. They are not a top notch expensive paint job but a super nice driver quality paint job that I would always get compliments on both cars paint, and he did a complete color change on the ‘75 firebird door jambs, inside the trunk and engine bay and the 85 trans am was black but he did the same he painted the jambs and inside the hatch area too.
