Think I’m going to have to cross mine off the VIN registry.
Fuck, I love this car. Corrosion already starting everywhere the water made it up to. Going to hose it down with fresh water and spray some WD-40 wherever I can. Looking for any tips on how to preserve as much as possible. |

Got the interior pulled out today. Going to do a fresh water hose down tomorrow and flush the oil and trans fluid. Wiring harness definitely toasted. Would like to drill some drain holes in the longs and flush that as well.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions for an aerosol rust inhibitor that’s easy to find in large quantities for cheap. Right now the plan is to have it shipped to PMB so it can dry out in the desert. |

The raw edge of the drilled holes is more likely to be the start of a corrosion point than what you already have. The longs already have drains in them. Just make sure they are clear and not coved up with undercoat. Same for rear suspension conslole, there are drains at the bottom. Make sure they aren't covered up. Look up in the engine compartment toward the rear of the trunk divider - there are already ventilation holes for moisture to escape though and/or force air into to force dry. Same up under the gas tank. Pull that out. There are small "frame" sections there with ventilation holes. Pull the door thresholds anyway to get the carpets out, each of those retention screws is a hole in the longitudinaly. Also the longitudinals have tar type mastic covering 2 eliptical holes on the inner surface. Pull those if you wish to get more ventilation. Bottom line, I don't think you need more new holes IMO. |
