A little surface rust in this channel. Not entirely certain what it's purpose is.

They all have it though. The donor-mobile has the same seam, but it's covered in seam sealer.

Again, I'm not really sure what it's for.

The seats and backpad. These will be stored for future resale. I'm going to use the cherry backpad and seats from the donor car.

I almost forgot to show this pic. The worst of it. That rust continues up the console and under the battery tray.

Another daylight sighting from interior panels. This is the passenger seat belt mounting hole at the "repaired" section

Although the rust stops at the cross brace on the passenger side, this is the driver's side in front on the brace. That's a rusty hole that's coming apart.

Post engine/trans removal. That's the donor-mobile in the background.

This could be a problem. Right side upper bolt hole. Can you weld these cases?

Most of the rust looks fixable, a real pain but it can be done. I am sure the tranny can be welded back up.
Nice shop!! Almost as clean as Brad Anders!

Thanks Geoff. It's not that nice though. Close up, it's a pit. Waaay too much crap, and not even close to Brad's.

Wait till I get decent pics tomorrow of the "replacement" panel someone riveted to the side of the engine compartment behind the battery tray all the way down to the long that's rusty, bent and full of holes.

Here's a link to some other crappy pics of rust I had already taken.

It's still way less rusty than the 70 car I cut up. Saveable but lots of work.

Gotta love those rust-free California cars! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Still, I think I'd be more tempted to deck the moron what flattened your quarter panel than anything else.

Oh I was tempted all right. But the flip side is the quarter was going to take some cutting to do the rust repair anyway, so his insurance company is footing a portion of the bill.
