DWL, I want to say "Thank You" for showing me my car isn't so bad. Might I recommend a 'burial-at-sea' for your loved one there?

The thing that most people wouldn't realize though, is that the sort of rust on that car is extremely mild and very repairable. I'm willing to bet that's a southern car, because northern rust shows up on fender flares, on door bottoms and on rocker panels. Northern rust usually produces rot, whereas that car just has a whole crapload of surface rust.

Oh man, that's a dam shame. If I saw that in person I'd at least ask if he'd be interested in parting with the IROC wheels. Wonder how long it'll take till that pic makes it's way over to beaterz.com

Ta Ta Taaaaa, Ta Ta Taaaaaaa!!!! Yep, I hear "Taps" playing. Someone needs to put her out of her misery. On a serious note...by the 15" IROC rims that has to be at least an 89 or 90 model. I've never seen an 89 up model rust like that unless it's been wrecked and not repainted or the classic "I'm goona get around to finishing it" primer job.

actually they are 16" rims, but the big tires make em look small. I know mine look the same, i just haven't gotten around to buying new tires yet.

Hahahah..that is the funniest picture I have seen in a while. Actually, those are 15' rims. You can easily tell by how long the splines of the rims are.
