I've come to the conclusion that very few 'minters' are actually that.  Mine was similar, rear beam mounts etc.

Most people (aside from the big money people) who say their car is 'solid'/'mint' have probably never actually had if up in the air in pieces to have a proper look.

I'd put money on being able to find hidden rot on 80% of the cars on here.

That's not a reflection on the owners, just a fact that they are all that old now.
