your best bet would be to read this topic showthread.php?t=11285

as they are restoring a brumby and it shows exactly where the rust lives in them (from around page 6 they start finding the rust)

the most common places are at the bottom of the windscreen, the front and rear wheel arches, the subframe, in the doors and where the tray meets the cab of the car

what price is the car yard selling the brumby for I have seen them for $7990 for a 89 with single head lights here in WA (in a car yard) I paid 3800 for an 89 with single headlights one owner and I didnt have to do much work on it at all

I think he wants $8000, for it, but I want to do a swap for my "09" 250 ninja.

For $8k it would want to be something special...I'd think $5 would get you a darn good example here in Vic.
