Too many rusted bolts??
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/37962/cq_underside.jpg"></center><p>This is the underside of the coupe I may get...it worries me a bit that there is 2 very small surface rust spots on the ends of rear Q-panels and this is what it looks underneath. Its been powerwashed too.....what do you guys think? Go or no-go?

Don't know...you want to call them in the morning, and if so, I'll run down?
Let them know you have someone local coming to look at the car for you?

Where is that car from originally? Could be worse, could be better...
rust can be a PIA. I have a vehicle that is from Chicago and it took over a week to get all the bolts freed up to change the timing belt. It only took 3 hours to put back together. I guess it depends on how much patience you have to deal with rusted bolts. Personally if I knew I would have to get in there and turn all those rusted bolts, I would probably pass. I've more experience than I want with situations like that, but that's just me.
