I can't really answer that, but I will just pass on a piece of advice I 
was given when I started to look for my GTV-6: When buying a car like 
this, keep foremost in your mind the following  thought: ACCEPT NO 
RUST. A car with a little rust that you can see likely has much more 
rust that would only be revealed by a complete strip down to bare 
metal. Often this hidden rust is structural in nature and difficult to 
fix.
Better to buy a car that is 100% rust free and not running (or even 
with the engine missing altogether) that to buy a car with a newly 
refurbished drive train and some rust. Mechanical work is cheap, 
bodywork is expensive.
