Wow, that is some nasty rust. It's nice to see someone repairing it other than trashing the car.

i have seen them but my budget just doesn`t allow it after spending $200 on parts i needed a week ago its mostly just to keep the fuzz off my case was close to getting a #1 a few times good thing i know alot of them. come spring gonna be looking for one with front end damage so i can use back half for mine. hate to see them cut up but might as well use it for good then see it crushed for scrap.

#1's suck. I managed to talk it to a #2 on my jeep but it still cost me tons to get it all "right" in their eyes. Like who needs a shift pattern on the shifter? I you don't know what. 5spd is your not alowed in my jeep. How much filler is in there?
