Hey guys, looking at a roller. Most of the car is rust free according to seller (longs, floors, etc.). There is a little surface rust here and there, but car is already stripped down on the outside. The only thing that concerns me (because I'm new at this) is this area. Can a few of you experienced guys look at these pics and tell me how much work this looks like to clean out, and if you see any major problems here? Obviously new tray and support are needed, but what about that hole down in the bottom?

Based on the battery tray pics - or what is left, I question the sellers statment "...car is rust free according to seller (longs, floors, etc.)..."
You should check as well the jack point and particular the suspnesions ears below the battery area. Can you see/check the car in person or only pics? Post your location and ask one of the club members to inspect the car with you - this will cost a few bucks or a steak and some beer. good luck! |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) That ain't "rust free" ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) The rust has almost certainly gotten inside the pass. side long. I'd carefully check the back of the long from the jack post backwards. Lots of poking with a screw driver. Also, it appears the rust has eaten into the pass. side suspension ear. You need to look for holes and cracks there. Lastly, move the pass. seat all the way forward, remove the carpet behind it and poke the hell out of the floor and the edge between the floor and the long. Do the "crunch" test on the lower ribs on the floorboard. Don't let the factory paint fool you in that area. They painted OVER the sound deadening tar mats and the rust will be underneath the tar.
