Default Is it poss these days to buy an XR2 that hasn't rotted away?

I've been to look at a couple XR2s recently as i want one to track day.

Every one i have seen has been a complete rust bucket.

I'm pretty handy with a welder and don't mind putting a couple of patches on but some of the cars I've seen have more inner wing missing than they have left!

Am i looking for the impossible??
