because the chassis has rusted away the car flexes which causes the pillars to crack!

No MOT on the isle of man 8)
My Dad cam with me to buy this car and he is a classic car restorer, he really knows his stuff!!
he knows where to look and more importantly what not to buy, we had it up on the ramp and gave it a proper inspection, He wouldnt of give me the ok to part with £1300 if the chassis was rusted
