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)

Thanks for all of the replies. I am going to clean each of the longs this weekend and get a good look at them (it was getting dark when i took pics yesterday). I definitely like the idea of spraying some rust encapsulator into the longs.
I also like the idea of spraying some thick oil into the longs afterwards to help keep future rust at bay (until the day that i do a full restore on this car). What kind of oil can be sprayed in for this purpose? Motor oil? |
