The car really needs new body panels welded in to make it right - the rockers are starting to rust badly, and the inner/outer fenders are rusting where they join. Mechanically, it's a decent car, but if someone doesn't do something about the rust, the car won't be long for this world. I'm sticking with 740 diesels from now on - have two of 'em and now will have more time to work on them.

i believe you told me that i wouldn't need to do any work until the timing belt went in about 35000 miles. i really hope you can at least help me get the car legal Tom. You didn't say anything about the rockers rusting badly to me either.
