Dude leave it, before u know it, rust is everywhere , specially in the boot section area, if you take the boot cowling off you`ll get shocked if its that bad, and side sills rust inside out, so u dont know what lies inside the sills e.t.c, if its for parts and u get the car cheap then its down your street otherwise naaaah.

how much was it up for?

I'd say leave it mate, i had one years ago and i had to scrap it

Arches and scuttle panel are major places, to look for.

How much was the seller asking?

Price?

[nev325isport]

Do you not fancy the replica sport in the for sale section?
£1300
That looks nice!

Leave it mate!!! Even at that brass you would still spend a fortune bringing it upto a decent standard which would be good money for a minter. If you say the scuttle is rusty, no doubt there will be rust near the number plate plus the rust on the rear arches so youre talking about 2k just to get the car painted....then theres the potential issue with the engine youre talking about!! Before you know it you'll be upto £4,500.
