The engine also sounds a bit rough on my computer. Also check the cowl for breaking bondo. If that is what I saw you might want to do a good search for more. I've heard horror stories of guys buying a great looking ride only to find more bondo than steel. The 12,000 is less than you would pay to bring an old one up to that condition so that is a positive. I just have the feeling it's been covered up for a quick sale. Get the lowdown on the engine and tranny as well.
