Here are pictures... looks like I pretty much expected... not that good!
I can't make up my mind if I should go for this car or look for a better one
Will ask for pictures of the trailing arms anyway...
It looks excellent IMO! Don't expect anything pretty if it has been off the road for so many years. It's dirty, yes, but everything is intact: Side mirrors, rear lenses, dash, and while the inlet manifold and carb is missing, the engine looks ok. It's there! This car could even have been a restoration project
Where in Germany is it?
Trailing arms are probably not good, but I notice that the rear end isn't sitting low or out of camber. Photos won't say much as they will show rust on the outside, but they could still be fine on the inside. I suggest you either ask the seller to check them for serious corrosion around the bearings, or just go for it. Chances are good that they can be welded.
I notice also that the water pipes in the engine compartment are relatively free from rust. Mine was much worse (now stainless steel
)
And the front bumper is intact.
I'd like to claim the following items too:
Rear struts (springs)
Side mirrors...
Rear lenses...
The radio and equalizer - real 80's items
Header tank
