Hi
Still looking for a good shop to fix my hell hole “surface rust” issues. I have a 74 (2.0) with original miles under 110,000. 2nd owner spent 10k re-painting but never addressed the rusted battery tray and surface rust in hell hole. Any recommendations for good shop in Los Angeles vicinity? Thnks |

Take a close look at the door gaps on the passenger side, take a measurement. Then put a jack under the jack point on that side and gently start to raise it while watching the door gaps closely. If you can see any change in the gaps, stop - you have your answer at that point. Otherwise, go until the car is off the ground and measure the gaps in the same places. If the measurements haven't changed, I would say you have no IMMEDIATE problems. That doesn't mean there is NO problem, but maybe you can take your time to investigate. The boroscope is a good idea, you can get USB scopes that will plug directly into your smart phone and record video for about $20.
