Default looking at a 93 gt

the car has around 86k, 5sp, pretty much stock. Is there any problem areas that I should be looking for??? Any panels that are prone to rusting out??? The body is my main concern.

The hatch, inside the doors their under the fenders, and beneith the doors are all prone to rust. Also check for body twistrunning along thepillars along thefront and back windshields.How much is it?

I don't know, I've looked at 6 or 7 foxes, most of them having nothing more than a CAI and theres been some frame twist in about half of them.

Honestly I didn't even ask about a price. When I get a good look at it and decide whether or not I'm serious about getting into it I'll ask about a price. I don't want the price to make up my mind for me.

So the hatch, around the rockers, inner fenders/wheel wells. Thanks to those who posted...if you think of anything else let me know.

Im sorry but I find that hard to believe that a bone stock 5.0 is twisting its frame....

I know, I did too until I saw them, but all the ones I've looked at have been beaten on.

Like I said earlier, but worded wrong, inside where the door hinges connect to the frame. Take a good flash light and open the door to check good inside there.
