........little to no rust car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Thought you guys might enjoy this.
This is what got by me because I didn't look hard enough and took the PO's word for a car in good shape.

Looks like I'll really get my wish to practice my welding skills (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) Since I found a 2 relay block under the pass. seat with no relays and a big snipped yellow wire that had been connected to its self instead of running through the relay block.....may end up explaining my electrical issues (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif)

so off I go to start (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

This thread brings something to mind. A lot of us have looked at and passed on cars that had major rust issues, or have at least come in contact with cars that have major rust issues. I know it's buyer beware and for some talented folks rust issues aren't really an issue at all. But wouldn't it be nice to have a record of cars with a description of their last known 'current 'state'? For instance, I came accross a car a couple of years back that the owner said he was planning on selling. He also proudly told me about the many layers of bondo and fiberglass he had used to conceal all of the cars 'issues'. Nice. I keep expecting to see the car on this site for sale, but my guess was that by now he sold it locally.
Probably no way to accomplish it and might not even be the 'right' thing to do. It was just a thought. Back to your regularly scheduled thread.

993inNYC, Good luck with the repairs- keep at it, you'll be back on the road in no time and intimately familiar with your car when your done, which is a good thing.
Keep the progress pics coming! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

You're absolutely right and I should have been more diligent. I agree with the database idea, but who would keep it and who would tell the truth?

Thanks for the words of encouragement. And yes I will be intimate with it, I plan on continuing the stripping so I can get it media blasted. Should have it gutted in the next week. I also have a second motor i may as well get someone started on rebuilding so I can have everything ready when the body is done. I Intend on trying to keep a good record of the "before and afters". I think it will go along way if, when done, I decide to sell it (or any time for that matter). This will definitely test my talents and patience. I'm just glad my other car is a Porsche ......and a cool one at that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
