'Porsche approved' RUSTY Carrera 3.2

[Carrera 3.2 NZ]

I just landed my 1987 Carrera 3.2 in New Zealand from the UK . Bought it from a 'secondary' dealer, BUT had the Euro 270, 111-point Porsche inspection done by one of the UK's official Porsche Dealerships; Porsche Centre Nottingham. I will just be brief at this stage, but the report said there were 'signs of corrosion', but that it was a good car and no structural issues . So trusting the good name of an official approved Porsche dealership, I went ahead with the purchase, shipped the car over and ...
It has very serious structural rust issues in both the A and B-pillars, both sides inner and outer sills require replacing, plus the fuel tank is rusted through. The condition of the underbody wasn mentioned in the report as being in good condition, but requires ALL parts (suspension, steering, engine, oilpipes, brake lines, etc, removing to bring the body back to some reasonable standard. And then there all the areas we cannot see yet at this stage! I have now written to the second hand dealer who sold the car, but more importantly Porsche Centre Nottingham on whose recommendation of their inspection report I bought the car, plus Porsche Cars GB as the importers. I have requested they do the right thing, stand behind the good Porsche name and pay for the expenses incurred to bring the car back to a reasonable standard. Any ideas, please reply. I was so looking forward to my first 911, after many years of driving, racing and rallying Alfa Romeos and the BMW m3. Just this week I have also written to Herr Matthias Muller, the CEO of Porsche AG, but to date I have most surprisingly not even received any reply. I will publish the various emails during the next few days.
below just a couple of photos showing the rust of this 'good car'.

As you can see I employed and paid good money for the Porsche specialists to inspect the car.
