I always say buy on bodywork.

check the fuel cap area, bottoms of doors, and rear strut areas. Another favorite is the back panel where it joins the boot floor (near the spec sticker)

I'd personaly buy a cheaper one and throw it to a bodyshop

Edit: The price is not that bad.

I think its 1500/1700 overpriced...

It'll need a trip to the body shop and may need a new door, skutle & depending on how bad the fuel filler is when you strip it back a bit of welding.... also depends how bad it is on the inside of the filler - and then you might have a nice car when you put all the rest back to OEM.....

There was a stunning BBM with UV Recaro's on ED38 for 2K more and that I would rather own than this Ebay one...

OP... If the scuttle panel is starting to let go, then you can rest assured that the rear arches will be shot, under those plastic arches! Description also claims never welded underneath, I have seen mk2s that are solid on the floor pan, but shot everywhere else, worth a view though, could be a gem, wouldnt worry about the price, everything is negotiable
