sounds like a steal. Get that rust fixed right away (or just get a new door) or it’l just get worse fast. Come to think of it, PM Hurricane here on the forums to get a mint white door for super cheap! Good find, jump on it I say. ---

Looks good to me. Should only have minor rust. I would say from the looks of it. Take it to somebody close by to take a look at it if you want. ---

I would take a really close look at all the seams and whatnot on the body as the car is a repaint from what I can see. You would not be surprised how easy it is to quickly “cover” up rust for a little. ---

i had it on the hoist thursday and its clean underneath. minor Surface rusf, but nothing to worry about. Guy must have taken real good care of it. Also looks like it was rust proofed. thanks guys for all your input and heads up on things i should look for. i ve been driving it for a couple days now and have fallen inlove with it hehe. dont think i can pass it up. 🙂 thanks again Mike ---
