This can't be good. The seam is separating under the battery and under the right side of the engine lid support. I also noticed a crack above the GT chassis stiffener on the same side. I searched everywhere else in the area and it looks fine. I wonder if its rusting out from the inside? Any ideas on what this means? Do I need to pull the motor to fix it? Replace the whole section or just weld it up?

I got one that looks worse. The hell hole is bad, the jack post is gone and the door jam is cracking at the lower rear corner.

QUOTE(kg6dxn @ Oct 4 2010, 05:41 PM)  I got one that looks worse. The hell hole is bad, the jack post is gone and the door jam is cracking at the lower rear corner. Interesting... These two areas are the only bad spots that I can see, however I did have to replace the battery tray and its support 15 years ago. A shop also welded a metal 6" square patch to the right rear of the floor pan about the same time. I wonder if the thing is rusting on the inside or if its just race track wear and tear? |
