Like the corner of the wheel arches, under the windscreen grille, corner of doors, and on sedans, behind the c-pillar cover. I might be wrong about the rust on this car, but if you do go and have a look at it, be sure to check those areas. |

rust is unfortunately more the norm than the exception on older Fords but this one looks pretty good - for 500 bux it looks like a bargain..I'd buy it! it'd be the perfect parts hauler....

rust isn't a huge problem to fix, tho depends where it is. xd,xe utes are all good, and i'm sure xg xh fronts fit? a cleveland would look good under the bonnet lol

If its been well looked after, it will be a great car for a project. |
