Hi
Still looking for a good shop to fix my hell hole “surface rust” issues. I have a 74 (2.0) with original miles under 110,000. 2nd owner spent 10k re-painting but never addressed the rusted battery tray and surface rust in hell hole. Any recommendations for good shop in Los Angeles vicinity? Thnks |

Borrow or buy a bore scope and try to see inside the long, below the battery and hell hole. You should have a hole about 3/4 inch in diameter "uphill" from the battery tray support, just in front of the trunk bulkhead. Use this for camera access to the inside of the long.
If you have lived a perfect life and get really lucky, you might find that rust you see on the top of the hell hole is truly just surface rust. Attached thumbnail(s) |
