:shock: :shock: Thats a lot of Rot, I feel sorry for you, but at least it is all repairable with work, if you get ALL the rust cut out and replaced with fresh metal and well sealed with paint she will look mint again and you shouldn't suffer from an car cancer ever again.


I will look forward to watching you save her.
