[Re: newbie here well kind of]

Yeah, like if you want pictures of MkI rust, I'm your gal (seriously, I plan
to photograph the corpse for educational purposes anyway). Mine's too far gone
to save, but it had its shot. Check the strut towers too, but rear
axle/control arm attachment points are sore spots. Lift the carpet, pull  the
rear bench seats and use a screwdriver. And they can be quite far gone and
still have the doors close very well. Engine/tranny etc can be fixed, this
list thrives on giving these cars life.
