[ROVERNET - UK] A 1967 2000TC that I'm looking at...

[Ted Holman]

Looking at the inside bottom of the doors, does it appear to be bubbling up 
a little? I have a car that has 29,000 miles on it that was left outside for 
twenty years after loosing a bashing contest with a tree and it looks 
similar except for the rust in the trunk. Mine has several windows in the 
floor. Door rust seems to be the deal breaker, at least for me.
