While waiting for fuel lines to arrive (pulled my tank) I decided I would finally pull the side valences or "longs covers" and windsheild trim in order to address the rust repairs. This is the real estate I inherited........
 I was expecting the worst but check it out.........   Minor surface rust and it's the same around the windsheild frame!!!!!!!!! I'ma happy, happy guy. |

Every time i take the car to the car wash, i make the point of hitting the backside of the covers with a powerwasher. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy |

It amazed me the rocks and stuff that fell outta mine, but man, a Dr. Pepper can?!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Glad yours wasn't bad. I wound up with a rusted through spot on the jack support and a pea sized hole on the passenger side at the angle up along with the minor surface rust. |

all most enough to warrant a new corner balance or alignment (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Nice.
It's amazing how much debris gets stored behind the panels. I never re-installed the rivets back in mine. I would occasionally pull them off and clean the area when I washed the car. If I wasn't going to pull them during a wash I'd just tape over the holes until I was done. |

Towns should invest in 914's for street sweepers. Amazing how much they collect. Nice a solid under there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Mine was full of dry dog food that the rats had stored.

If you go to the hardware store and get a bunch of 1/4 inch thick rubber washers and put them between the bottom of the cover and the long...using longer screws, when you shoot a hose in there, the rocks and dirt now have a way to get out of there...

They look a little better after a good cleaning and a por15 treatment. Except for the rust in the battery tray area and windsheild area, all the rust I have dealt with thus far is the result of someone painting over some minor surface rust. Is there a name for people that do this? How about "painthole"?
