Don't be fooled by photos. One of the best looking C2 2.7's turned out to be a rotten, fillered up, twisted ex write off about 3 inches too short on one side. It was scrap, suitable only for parts or a rebuild with another shell.

With E30's - assume they are rotten, patched up shit until an inspection proves otherwise.

Perhaps one E30 in ten are really good ones? There are very few left with original panels that are rust free and unwelded.
