They replaced a fender brace with a wooden dowel and electrical tape. And the front bumper with just make you laugh. Plus it has 250K on it.

Fair enough, can you take some pictures of the rust? My guy in Japan was rusting in the area of the spare tire. It was the reason he stayed in Japan and was scrapped. You have to love these cars to keep them. Soon enough a stripped down frame will be worth money. Wonders how many are left? Can tell you they are rare in Japan.
