Looking at pic number 12, the rust is very serious,
good luck trying to find a replacement panel for that part to weld in.

Yeah prob won't be cheap but I can still go have a look if your serious about it? But by the looks of some of that rust I'd say be more of a parts car?

yip im serious about it, its just pending, inspection , waiting money for a perky and organise shipping. fixing rust like that isnt a big deal for me ive fixed way worse. what i want to no is if theres more and what im thinking of paying is worth it or to much. if you could make contact with the owner and organise to view, would be awesome.

that thing looks farked to me. more rust than steel, the pictures probably show about 20% of whats there and its had a color change so someone has probably already had a half arsed go at fixing some of it.
