Im trying to buy a 3000gt for a really good deal, the only issue is that it has what looks like structural rust. The seller sent this photo and said it's under the driver's front side of the car. I can't really tell what im looking at in the photo but it's definitely not good. I have a welder and decent welding skills. I'm willing to do whatever repairs are necessary, not really concerned about how much work or money would go into it and I'm set on repairing it if I get the car. However id like a bit of insight on what exactly is rusted here because im not super familiar with these cars and their frames, obviously frame rust is bad but this would only be a light driver and I'm willing to do whatever is needed to fix it.

This is my dad's 1969 Barracuda convertible, we've been working on it together for awhile now to get it road worthy after sitting for 25+ years, he's had it for a very long time but the last time it drove was in the 90s or early 2000s. It looks good in the photo but it's actually in pretty rough shape once you look at it in person. We've driven it on the road once but the power steering gearbox pours out all its fluid due to a ruined seal, we're working on getting that fixed then it'll be driving good hopefully. The cool thing is that it has pretty much no modifications done to it in the body or engine besides repair work, which I believe is rare for these cars because I've never seen one that's not at least decently modified. I also believe the convertible model is rare, correct me if I'm wrong. It has the 318 v8

I have a 1999 kinetic, in non running condition right now but most parts are still there and in useable condition. Any part you want can be sold and shipped, just name a price and I'll probably accept it since I need this bike gone (just pay shipping). The only thing I would like to sell as a full unit is the motor

Extras:

-Original spaco carb and a dellorto 13mm sha

-50cc cylinder kit, and malossi 64cc cylinder kit (if you want the motor you'll get both)

-Mazzuchelli anticipato crankshaft 12mm pin- already in the engine

-Gianelli fire circuit exhaust in good condition as well as stock exhaust

-misc vespa parts such as a variated gearbox and driven pulley

I think I remembered to include everything I have, if you have any questions just reach out

Located in ohio, can ship anywhere

If you have a cvt this is your reminder to take extra good care of it and change the fluid regularly because these transmissions really seem to depend on it. Ive been getting faults with my transmission which has never had the fluid changed in 115k miles, apparently just changing the fluid makes a huge difference (obviously, but especially with a cvt) . One thing you absolutely need to do if you aren't doing it yourself is make sure both of the 2 filters are changed by whoever is doing it.

2008 patriot, all my door seals leak after it rains and as you can see they hold water which caused rust over the years. I just got this car recently and I'm trying to fix this, it seems like the water gets in from the top and pools in the bottom. The seals themselves seem fine so I'm not sure why they're leaking
