Critical Literacy Question: What is missing from the text?

Restoring an old, beaten car to its original condition is an extremely time-consuming task, one that can take even years. One way of trimming this time is to half-do the restoration, literally. Geoff Luck of GC Restoration has restored only one half of his his Holden Kingswood ute, painting an imaginary line along the middle of the body. Luck has affectionately named the car 'two face,' or 'Harvey' after the Batman villain Harvey Dent. One half of the vehicle is in pristine condition, aside from a handful of modern touches such as LED lights in the cabin. The other half of the vehicle is rusted, sun-damaged, and beaten. GC Restoration's FB page had this to say about the build: 

“Geoff has had this odd idea for a resto in his head for years and has been talking about doing up an old ute to use as a GC Restoration shop runabout for quite some time... ...Harvey’s driver’s side has been bare-metalled, repaired, straightened and freshened up to look like a Sandman tribute from front to back, inside and out, top and underbody, right down the middle. BUT the passenger side has been left almost exactly as it was.We salvaged what we could. It has been sun and weather damaged, it has got dents, holes, bits missing, lost or damaged and bloody red dirt everywhere! Harvey is certainly a head turner!” 

There is no mention or picture of how the interior of the ute has been restored. I would have liked to see how Luck went about restoring the interior- whether he decided to restore it in its entirety or only one half. I would have also liked to see how he implemented the LED lights briefly mentioned in the text.
