okay on #3 we are looking at the hole in one of the sides of the long, but there is no rust on the inside of the long. so mine is like a C (facing the other way) now, instead of a box.

uumm...wow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) The hellhole its self looks fixable. It is the rear floor and firewall that need some major work. You are going to have to buy a rear floor pan replacement panel from AA. I think they are the only ones that make just the partial rear part. So I would say, jack plate, jack tube, rear floor, Battery tray, support, seat mounts..other stuff can be made. I am willing to provide the Jack plate, tube, battery tray and support, but I would rather not have to buy the rear floor... It can be done, but it WILL take more than a weekend. worse than I had thought (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

if we patch up the hellhole, i'm going to ask for a welder for my bday. I can then repair the rear floor. How hard are the seats to take out?

dude, if we do this hellhole, you'd be awesome in m book.

sorry to be a pain, but to asses the rust better, could you slide the passenger seat forward, and pull the carpet back, and take a pic, then jump on it, and take another pic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I think I can see inside. but yeah, some more pics like from directly underneath and how much of the firewall is affected would be better.

Mike, probably more spoiled would be my guess. I cant BELIEVE I traded a Jeep in for this, especially since there are WAY nicer ones available.

Barry, what if I made a few calls to people to help out. Think a team of four or five could tackle this?

the more people the better. We can have someone working on the hell hole, someone working on the floor, someone working on the firewall and someone working on the long. MORE IS BETTER. I will PM you about the dates.

I hope by the grace of God that this car gets fixed. The parent's funding source has just run dry for this car and I really love this car.....You know what I mean. I still get chills driving it.

dude, I just got the chills riding in mine the other day. i havn't felt that since the first time we bought it. It felt so good. just think, you would be better off fixing this, think about the costs. Since I am providing most of the parts, then you cost will end up being around 200-300. If you got a Cali car, that would just cover the car...add another 600-700 for shipping, and you are easily over the thousand dollar mark, and you could buy a running eastcoast car for that...

I'm not trying to be negative on this, but the more people working on the car at the same time also increases the chances of somebody getting seriously hurt from the drilling, the sawing, the grinding and the welding.............just something to think about...
