This afternoon at a service station, fortunately none was found. I also topped up gas, tires and checked fluid levels and everything seems to be in order.
I also got an offer for the car from one of the employees at the station, who told me it's been ages since he'd last seen one in such good condition: 12 grand plus a Honda 125cc

12 thousand USA Dollars or Reais? If he was talking about Dollars then I would say yes. Sounds like quite a lot for a nineties Tipo. (It is a nineties Tipo, amirite?)

Yup, 95, the offer was in Reais though. Funny thing is, IIRC, we didn't pay much more than that at the time because back in 1995 the Real and the Dollar were exchanged at a 1:1 rate. I think the Tipo cost 15 thousand Dollars/Reais back then, and the Sedicivalvole went for 17 or 18 thousand, but we got ours for 15 for some reason I can't quite remember.
Not that I'd ever sell it after all we went through though, not even for 12 thousand dollars, haha...

Tipo 16v with rear inner arches that aren't made of rust? I'm envious :(

That's pretty much it, haha...
Here it is the day I picked it up at the bodyshop, about a month ago. No rust formed in the repaired fender in that time, and it's been raining like hell here, so, even thoguh I'll definitely inspect it more thoroughly in the summer, when I have the time and space to take it apart, I'm confident the structure will be just fine.
