Well.
Found a first owner GTV 84 model, with original but faded paint, all original car, no accidents or repairs never.
Car has covered 12,500 genuine miles!
Checked it carefuly! including under carpets and everywhere! i had lot of experience with GTV rust so i looked everywhere.
Didnt find anything at all, except one anoying rust spot, at a scary place if you ask me.
Well, made a misstake not taking picture, but here is a picture of another car i took from the net (without rust) and i marked the place with a red arrow.
Still dont know though if its only the upper layer(inner wing part) rusted or did it already penetrated the crossmember under it.
Would love to hear professional and non proffesional opinions.
Would you repair this car or leave it ? is it a highly stressed part ? isnt it risky ? (becous it is so close to front section of chassis rail attachment)
Will appriciate any answer or response, a specialy if someone has seen this place rust before, had repair such rust, or can put pictures.
