Well the major rust spot to look out for are around the front suspension towers,under the passenger and drivers mirrors,on the inside of the doors along the bottom edge,in and around the fuel neck/filler and around the boot seal. I also like to stick my head underneath the car to see if it has any major scrapes on the under the body or crash damage ie clamp marks on the seal panels,bent front reo ,creases in the skirts. Also lift the spair wheel cover up have a look at the beaver panel make sure the sealer looks original or it could also be a sign of crash damage. 1 last thing have a look inside the engine (take of the oil cap) and see if its clean or really black and dirty this will give u an indicator if the engin has been serviced regally or not also checking the dip stick for oil burn does the same sort of thing good luck with the Purchase

many many thanks to R33huntme

no worries something else to look at, the wear on the steering wheel Especially on the right side were u hang on and dents/wear marks on the drivers floor/Matt it's a tell tail sign of the kms the more were and tear the more kms it should have (u never can tell if the kms have been played with at least this will help

White C34 sitting on Main Street, Greensborough waiting to turn right up St Helena Road yesterday around midday.

I was in the yellow Stag which turned out of St Helena and went up Diamond Creek Road.

Another white stag, different to the one yesterday I think (the one yesterday had roof racks).

This time I passed it on the Greensborough Highway near the Civic Drive roundabout. I gave a toot and thumbs up on the way past (was on the red/white R1).

    • Johnny is sad now... Because you didn't get Bosch Motorsport ABS.  
    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
