i've found no other rust on the car. the front trunk is solid, the rear is also solid. under the seats are solid as well. all suprises me....

The battery tray seemed to be spot welded into place. I've relocated to the front in a plastic battery box.

I think I will remove the spring rod system and replace with gas shock type system for the rear lid. Then see about relocating the hinge point to the correct location when i pull the engine and can get in there easier with the rear lid closed. perhaps devise an adjustable setup.

i will get pics of the underbody today, longs, and trunk floors. will also pull the gas tank to see if there are any problems.

I have the receipts for the body kit install = $8,500!!!!
The same guy owned it for a long time and spent a ton of money on it. incl 1k just for the pressure sensor! and a few other tweeks. So I dont think it was a rusted out car before the body went on. But i suppose the fenders could have been maybe. All of the seal gutters etc are ok, the inner doors are fair....

I dont worry about water getting in now and rusting because i'm in Phoenix and it's no longer a daily driver.

The engine shelf i have worried about but the car has never overheated even here in phoenix... at least the gauge never went red (am i the idiot on this one) hehehe... and my oil light has never come on or anything.

I'm going to pull plugs today and see what they look like. Emissions test last year passed with flying colors the first time.

All in all i've been happy with the car but when i pulled the back pad and the sound deadener i started to tear up (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

There is no slot for my side window rubber. I think I will seal the holes from the screws and find some similar rubber with adhesive backing... on of the ol 356 speedster guys runs softseals hot rod /custom/ aftermarket division... at least he did last i talked to him.

Thanks dmenche
