Rust, It's unfortunate but it's true. Get your hands right up into the arches behind the kit and look for holes and or filler. Check the battery tray over and climb around on the floor to look at the chassis rails, floor pan and rear box sections. Make sure you can hear and see the car from cold. Whip the top boost hose off and check for excessive oil in it. Don't buy on mileage buy on condition.

Always worth assuning the seller is a lying no good thief as well from experience some peoples idea of a mint car is a fucking joke

Get a good one and you will ove it Get the wrong one and you'll curse the day you ever thought it was a good idea

Make sure the car drives in a straight line and the steering feels correct, dont fall for the old, "it just needs tracking" chestnut.

smitsturbo

In all fairness when I was trying to find a decent FRST I found these were the cars that were better cared for than the rich kids. PUlled up to a couple of nice big houses to view cars that were complete sheds
