      Theres not lots of rust, I've looked through the whole car and the only thing is a small amount of surface rust, rubbing compound and a buffer will fix that. I am completely repainting it. The only thing on the frame that is bent is the first 3 inches in the front. I payed $300 for the car.

        on the outside maybe.. but just looking at the outside I can tell that every nut and bolt under the car is rusty. I'm not trying to give you a hard time, but I guess I'm just spoiled by west coast cars that have no rust at all.

          Rust?

          Rust? where?

          This car is rust-free by New England standards...

          good luck

                    Your parent were willing to throw down for an audi, and you get an auto IX without sport seats or the ability to be legally driven on public roads. Good luck in more than one aspect will be needed.

                    "Having won more road races than any other model in history, the E30 M3 is considered by many to be the world's most successful road race car." - Simply put, E30s kick ass.

                        I like Audi's, sure, but they can't beat e30's, I figured people would be happy that I saved another one.
