B00STDZ Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Floorboards are the main one, I would say though if it has had some love put into it with a turbo motor and megasquirt that the rust cant be too bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIWAY ONE Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Frame rails (important), rocker panels, door bottoms, front fenders, battery tray, radiator support, hatch sill, bottom of rear quarters, floor boards as mentioned,windshield cowl panel, bottom of hatch, off the top of my head.

78nismoZ Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Drive the car with the megasquirt...Dont just listen to it idle and rev and think everything is fine...I bought my 280zxt that way....Half way to my house the plugs started fouling out because the guy I bought it from did not tune the car enough, so after about 25 mins of driving under load the plugs were shot....So do yourself a favor go for a good drive in it before purchasing...
