Default Re: stupid snowy salty wet boots.....

Sadly Wilma, it's not the worst of my rust. Typical rust in the lower quarters/outer wheel well, lower door rust (although I'm not sure how bad/deep it is), and typical lower fender rust. Despite being such a low mile car and being garaged, it's from Wisconsin, so it was driven in bad conditions and then stored in what I suspect was a fairly humid climate.

But, I can't really complain. The interior is in great condition, everything "works", and it runs fairly well.

After fixing the floor, next thing I have to do is pull the head and check the gasket. I have low compression in the 3rd & 4th cylinders, and it's killing my gas mileage!!

I would also like to thank Shaun Price and Dennis for helping me get this car back on the road after so many years. Thanks guys!
