Hello,

I'm usually a 145 kind of guy, but I've been itching for a 2 door, and I couldn't pass this one up. I've already got a deposit on it, and it's pretty reasonably priced (the b16 is seized).

I'm going to look at it/pick it up on Saturday, and I'm just wondering if there are any dealbreakers I should be aware of, other than the usual suspects of floorpan rot, etc. Besides the engine being dead (it's been sitting for the last few years), I know that it has some "minor" rust issues. The interior was re-done in the last couple years, and it rolls and stops.

I'd appreciate any and all tips. Thanks!

-Ben
