So here is the rust on this one. It's a 75 cali car it's entire life.
Get the worst over to begin. Let us take a look at the hell hole. It was solid, and even passed teh screwdriver/hammer test.... *until* it soaked in metal ready a while... then the screwdriver test started picking out giant holes which you see here. It is still soaking, and has been on/off for days not to eat away more to see what metal is truly left. Next step is a grinder or non-hand tool of sorts to break deep into the pitting and see what truly is through.

What you've got doesn't need saving it just needs a little TLC. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)
