What problem areas should I look for? You know how the C900 rusts around the rear shock mounts? The 99 was *much* better at it. Also check the sills, the jacking points, - oh just about everywhere. > I know this car, the engine has been rebuilt, and it's been parked for > about a decade.

There's nothing difficult to do on a 99. Except the water pump. I hate that. If it's relatively rust free, just buy it - I'd jump at a 99T with a rebuilt engine. Getting pretty rare, and *huge* fun (dare I say it - more fun than a 900T. I hope none of my babies read this.) -- Grunff
