Well I've started the process of preparing for
my 2056 GT to 2.4L six "rallye tribute" auto. Tearing into the interior I discovered some rust mites have been eating for a while. Doesn't look too extensive but will be probing some more. The exterior left long was patched a long time ago, albeit incorrectly. This was done by shop that wasn't fully up to speed on these cars and I was still a novice, well still am. I'll be doing some exploratory surgery on this left side inside and out. So I'll get this addressed before any engine install takes place. Would like to have it buttoned up for Hershey 2017. Wish me luck. " Attached thumbnail(s)
