I am working on a car now that has sat for the past 14 years. The fuel turned to black goo in the bottom of the tank. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) Needless to say it will need a new fuel tank before it runs. |

That "wheel well" is actually an intregral part of the chassis. Inspect the longs... pull the rocker panels and poke around. Where there is some rust.... there will be more. |
