I was supposed to finish stripping the rest of the sound deadening material out but i saw some disturbing pictures of another members car after he removed his front fenders and I thought I would find the same thing. It turns out that it was rusty under mine but not unsalvageable.
I am now a little worried about the strength of my rocker panels. They both have a little cancer at each end of them and im afraid that even with new patches they will not be as strong. We will see though.
After I pulled the whole front end of the car off and the front subframe i proceeded to do the same for the rear subframe. I was going to drain the fuel tank and drop it as well but I had nothing to drain the fuel into. Ill find a big pan to drain it on Wednesday when i can work on it some more.
When I drain the fuel and drop the tank on Wednesday Ill finish cleaning up the interior of the car (removing sound material and such) and work on patching up the rust I have found. shouldnt be too hard I imagine. I should have the frame mounted on the rotisserie come the weekend so that i can start frame rail repair. YAY!
With all the work on the body still needing to be done Ill have to find time to install the coilovers and build the motor as it will be out of the machine shop soon. the guy works pretty fast. I dropped the block off yesterday and he already had it bored and almost finished with the honing.
