Getting back on topic,

As long as your aware you're going to be constantly fighting rust and a million other little issues (she is getting on in the years) I say go for it. For windowless (as long as they're not warped weld ins) and GTS options I'd say it's about right money wise.

I don't even see bad paint as a real problem for a daily, the paint on mine is shocking. This means I can park it on a building site / carpark by the surf / on the street outside the pub, then lock it and just walk away without having a crisis about the thing.
