Check your longs!! Mine had some piles of dirt come out (not necessarily picture below) but not that much. There wise a nice clod of dirt compacted around the jack point on the passenger side.
My car is, so fortunately, looking pretty good. I have rust in the hell hole. My firewall and floorboards look great. I am sure there is rust back in behind that long area though. First is drivers side: Attached thumbnail(s) |

When I pulled the rocker covers off the 'BB', I stuck a piece of coat hanger wire up into the weep holes in the bottoms of the jack supports and was amazed how much dried up dirt came out.
I ended up drilling additional weep holes at the opposite lower corners of the supports and continued removing dirt from a different angle. Then I blew compressed air into one weep hole and even more dirt came out of the other. Now any moisture should drain better no matter whether parked flat, uphill, or downhill. I wonder if drilling some drain holes at a few locations in the longs would be beneficial (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
