I have searched and can't find a description of the "hell hole". What are people talking about when they refer to this location?

Underneath the battery tray

Right side of the car, below and slightly forward of the battery. It includes the horizontal surface, the right bulkhead, the firewall, and the vertical surface opposite the bulkhead. If it's not there, it's already too late! The Cap'n

1ST Order of business....

2ND, as the "Cap'n" sez, the repaired area depicted below is where the "hell hole" is found. Oft times it is the cummulative result of spilled battery acid, vented battery vapor, road salt, moisture, leaves, and the general accumulation of road detrius that ends up deposited in that area.

I am going to go check and see how my hell hole is?

The Cap'n nailed it.

If you are going to buy a car look there.

If you have already bought a car look there and find the holes he described.

But anyway

Wow,
Here are the rust pictures and sure enough, the hell hole has some holes in it. What do you guys think?

Ah thats nothing!

Here is are real HELL HOLES

And these were fixed.

are you handy with a welder? if not, now is a great time to learn.

That's realy not so bad.

A few pieces if sheet metal, some self etching primer and paint.....

But dig deep....

I bought a mig-welder and a fender and headlight box from Lawrence. It seems to of been in a mild fender bender in the past.

I just don't have the time to do it yet. I am guessing I will be locked in my Garage with the welder come about August...

Here you go.

Nothin a little and and and willn't fix.
