Body Q.

Good afternoon

I was curious about the body's on the 2nd gens. What are they made of? (I haven't actually seen one in person yet). Fiberglass, steel? I only ask because I may need to do some body work on the one that I will be buying this week.

Thanks
Rick

There are also aluminum wheel hubs, brake calipers, front suspension lower a-arm, rear end cover/mounting bracket, but presumably if you're buying this car it hasn't been in an accident or something, it's rust damage you're concerned about?
