I got receipts for $5k worth of rust repair when I bought this car. I was a little worried when I cracked the suspension console though. I've been cutting, grinding and sandblasting on the console and the only rust I can find is the area where the battery tray is welded to the wheel house. Only a little bit though. It seems like the shop that did the repair was very thorough with the welds on the patches. It slowed me down, but nothing I can't handle.
I am just happy about it and had to tell the World.
With any luck I'll get this thing back together next week.
