Having a little trouble passing safety, mechanic wanted a full body restore...luckily the body shop disagreed and said some patches should be fine to which another mechanic is on board with. However, I can't even tell what I'm looking at...Is that just painted rust? painted welds? painted seem sealer? any info or tips appreciated. Just trying to assess where I'm at and what I'm working with!
VIDEO: https://i.imgur.com/dAzfg1E.mp4 There's 3-4 holes in the underside, 1 is about the size of a quarter under the passenger seat. The interior of the trunks and interior of the floor looks pretty good, though? Looks like the jack points are cut off/missing on the rockers as well: All the fender wells look like this: Longs: Updated Patch work: |

Hello, just wondering where is this middle fuel rubber line connected? and time to replace the original plastic fuel lines (tunnel lines and engine fuel lines) to stainless steel lines. |

That line should go to the cold start injector. That is correct, thanks! I thought it was going under the air intake and coming out the other side, but the middle line goes directly into the cold start injector, the fuel line on the left goes across to the other metal fuel rail (connected to the manifold pressure sensor) and then continues underneath to fuel pump. the line on the right goes to the fuel pressure regulator and then straight to the pump. |

A vacuum line from the plenum should be connected to the MPS (Manifold Pressure Sensor) NOT a fuel line. |
