[QUOTE="SecondhandSnake, post: 16624167, member: 116684"] Man those are tempting even me... The trunk rust reminded me. Make sure to check for rust between the inner support and the outer skin. That's where it starts and by the time you see it on the outside it's way too late, the whole section is gone. Easy to replace, but still something to be mindful of. And in the trunk pull the weather seal to see if that channel is rotted. On old cars check for water leaks. Most of them need a new window seal. And another trick not just limited to old cars, but good to check- do the magnet trick on the body panels. If the metal is rotted out and they covered it in fiberglass, or if they buried a dent in tons of filler, the magnet won't stick. [/QUOTE]
