Render this: Rusted, busted old beaten up car

When I try to export the model to Thea I am getting all these weird artifacts. I have done all the usual, purged unused, turned on hidden to see if there was anything, turned on hidden geometry to have a look, and run thomthoms Cleanup. Still have artifacts.
Any suggestions?

Strange, I exported model without doing any cleanup (as posted) and it's clean.

Here is the .skp I was working with. All I did was add different colors so that I could identify and play with textures in Thea and set one scene.

Flawless, try exporting without checking model hierarchy.

Ah, thanks Pete, that was it alright.

Quick test render. Can`t nail the glass though.

Guy, I'm not sure what texture you've applied for the glass but the standard gray glass in SU works great, adjust opacity in SU and reflection in your render app.
Recycled farm house model!

That rendering with the old farmhouse is just brilliant.
Here's my contribution. Thea TR1 with PS post pro. This was a real challenge for me, and I hope I can play some more as I have really gained some knowledge.

Hello Dale, that looks great, I like the wheel on the back seat. "I hope I can play some more as I have really gained some knowledge." I don't think this is a time challenge thing, keep going.
