Looks like the one jack point is pretty gone. Makes me very suspicious about how much rust is in the longitudinal around it. Which leads to questions about the integrity of the suspension console.
The bubbles in the paint near the sail panel are either really awful body work starting to fail, or rust coming through from the underside. The stuff in the corner of the door frame might also be coming through from the back, or might just be some surface rust. If you're traveling for cars, might be better to look farther afield and find something more solid. It will probably save you money in the long run. If you were local and didn't want to travel, I would suggest looking at it and trying to get the price down to where you wouldn't lose a huge amount by fixing it. But you're not local, so I think it's probably not worth bothering with. --DD |
