Hiya all im looking at buying a coupe gt b2 looks straight body has faded and interior is like new it has 90 thou my question is what should I look for what are the cars faults and where do they rust ect cheers

The front window frame usually starts to rust in the lower corners.
Fenders, trunk and thresholds as well. Make sure too look underneath all the door lists and the the trunk list.
The idle might be a bit rough because of vacuum leaks and a faulty control valve for idling stabilization (common).





The only thing i can come up with when it comes to the interior is that the driver seat 99% of the times is damaged on the left side of the backrest. Also seen a few with a cracked backrest frame and the wires folding the backrests are often broken.

Be prepared to spend alot of money if the car is in a bad body and mechanical condition. I spent around 20 000$ getting my car back to "factory" condition. Thats with a engine restoration included and a new interior.

That doesnt look bad at all. Solid wings and all the side trims left that usually fall off (Impossible to find new ones)
The driver seat has been repaired.
There are some jack points in the front and rear of the thresholds that usually gets quite alot of rust. Their visible without removing the threshold trims.
My car was a total wreck when i bought it
