the rubber strip needs a aluminum channel to slip into. The channel must be missing, so a screw was used, not correct, but functional if it keep the water out.
Keeping the water out is a big problem cause your fire wall is pretty badly rusted. I assume this was a later car that had the horrible sound deadening pad on the fire wall. This is were water and junk would get stuck, and cause rust out. (never seen this kind of rust on early cars without the sound deadening pad) Looks like some of the engine shelf is also rusted away (passenger side of engine) Without all the metal, and rubber seals in place around the engine, your engne will be getting pre-heated air for cooling, not ideal. At least from the photos it does not appear the rocker was rusted thru by battery acid, however your battery tray is totally missing. You front hood seperatin problem appears normal, mine has some gaps under some of the framing on the rear edge. Your rear trunk is very likely not fitting because of the rivit repair on the hinge point. Usually the repair is done with a welder, the key is getting the location exact, so the hood fits perfectly. Lubrication of the hinge prevent the stress that will tear a hinge from the body. I suspect you have bad rust on the floors, under the seats, this is typical when the firewall rusts out. (allows water to get under the seats, between the tar mat and the metal floor) You have a very rusty engie bay. The outer body looks nice, but inside is rusty. Suggest you check out the rust more completely before investing too much time and money in this car. Just from the rust on the firewall makes this car a bad rust car. If any other rust, it may just be too much to practically save. (hence take the body kit off this car, and put it on a better car) sorry for your rust problems. |
