Hi I'm new to the site and looking for a fast back. I'm potentially looking at a car this weekend and was after some advice on what to look for e.g. problem areas for rust chassis numbers and anything else you guys think would be helpful thanks in advance rick

Early or Late car?

Late care suffer rust in the blister under the bonnet/scuttle panel. Have a look here

This causes water to leak into the car and rot the floors out.

Look down the spare wheel well, take the spare wheel out if you can.

There is a buying guide here viewtopic.php?f=20&t=2584

Applicable to the fasty, scroll down on this post to see the C pillar, which has a habbit of rotting from the inside out if not properly potected.
