You want big? Ok!

Motor is in the car, but it is NOT numbers matching and does not run terribly well.
REALLY needs a paint job.
Needs new carpet
Needs new door panels
Needs new outside emblems
Water leaks into cabin during rain or washing
Speedo needle bounces
Cruise doesn't work
Glove box lock broken
AC Control needs replacing
CD player skips
Plenty of different small fluid leaks throughout.

Probably more I can't think of right now, but that would keep you busy for quite some time, I think.
