Advice on this 1980 on CL

This one looks like fun, all of the same problems as the previous car, but probably more rust. But at least it's an S30.

That's got potential. The body seems to be unmodified. Rust is the big enemy there. Check the rocker panels, qtrs, wheel wells, doglegs, floor boards, frame rails, rear hatch latch area above the tail lights and under the battery. Some areas are more serious than others. I would expect some rust but not too much...

Not sure but it looks like it might have one of those "crap my wheel just fell off" rolled up rear quarters.  Something seems to be missing.  Maybe hiding it with the motorcycle handle bar.

Good call. It looks like the picture just after it shows the other side and it's just getting totally washed out with the light. It's an hour away from me, but my weekend is kind of shot. If I go see it and rust is minimal, I might have to have it.

If I get a chance to check it out and the rust is surface or only through on small non structural spots (fender, door, hatch) what would you say a fair offer would be?
