Hi, I am looking at a HDJ100 diesel in France, to potentially purchase. The owner have sent me some photos and there are some significant rust under the car. The rest of the car is ok, just need some interior improvements (new leather for front seats and one or two new door panels. It is full specifications and manual which is quite rare here (most are auto).
From what I seen on the the photos I think the frame and the under carriage need complete restoration (probably lifting the body off to do the job properly). It looks like most of it is surface rust but in some places it looks like more than just surface rust.
Thoughts or views from anyone with experience from an similar under carriage would be much appreciated. Am I naive thinking it can be restored? Many thanks in advance
