That's a nice looking car. Too bad about the rust. Judging by the look of the hole in the trunk, it's been driven in the winter a fair amount. Try jacking it up by the jack point behind the front wheels and see if the doors operate well. If there's a lot of rot you can't see, they might not close properly. You could always have someone fab a subframe for the back end and keep it for track days. I would be concerned about the structural part of the unibody being deteriorated. I drove my 90 9KT until the jack went through the floor when I tried to jack up the PS at the jacking point. It went to the yard after that. It looks like you've sunk enough money into this car to try to keep it around a little longer. Just be cognizant of the fact you'll never get a dime of it back if you want to drive it into the ground. My recommendation is still to keep your eye open for a solid 95 Aero 5-spd. These cars aren't that expensive. Of course, that's just my opinion. Good luck with the car.
