Hi Dereck, I have seen many MGB's (not GT though). The rust areas you describe
are just the tip of the iceberg. I'd suggest unless you really like welding and
body work wait for a better $2000 GT.

Dereck:
It sounds too expensive for a rusty car. If it has rust that visible then
the stuff you cant see is probably worse. My opinion is let it go for that
price. I have seen nice rust free GTs go for $1700.
