Now I'm getting uneasy....the shop sez the longs are fine, I'm getting feedback from folks whose opinion I value that they're bad. Obviously the pan is rotted, but where does the one end , and the other start? I colored the long "orange" to highlight it from the rusted pan.

everything inside the red lines shows the bottom of the hell hole ... everything inside the green lines is your floorpan ... like i said before, that round tube you see is the metal part of the heater tube that runs inside the long (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) if the longs were OK, you shouldn't be able to see inside ... makes sense?
