How much you think it'd cost to fix this?!? Reply #32 – July 17, 2008, 07:18:30 PM I put my car away with no rust on it anywhere. (ok there was little spots around the wheel well) and found what i have now in it's place. All the door jambs were fine, I remember cleaning them all the time to get the grime out of them. my front fenders had absolutely no rust on them at all.the pass. side door had no rust on it either. the rockers I knew had some rust. the floor was not missing at all. In fact I was looking at it on a lift for the last inspection, thinking it was in real nice shape for its age. it was all undercoated too. I've been seeing that on the rust that I've been getting rid of for the last couple months.This last winter as I was working on the car. I realized that the water from the driveway was going back towards the garage. the pad inside the garage was always wet. all year around.Seems my car was parked on a giant concrete sponge since 2003. (that problem has been fixed.)Who knew.And yes the roads are very heavily salted here. they'll salt every night even if they think it may snow by morning. they also use 2 trucks at a time on most main roads here Quote Selected

I wonder if that would help you? Quote Selected

I wonder if that would help you?As soon as I get this side of the car put on, I'm pulling the car out and doing that, right now I'm making the driveway bigger to do all this. Plus I dug drains in along the front of the garage to get rid of the water. My problem is also the well that I have 20 feet before the garage. when it gets filled to the top it starts saturating the ground around the garage, because it's slightly lower grade then the well top Quote Selected
How much you think it'd cost to fix this?!? Reply #35 – July 28, 2008, 12:25:59 AM Hey flipnbird, car looks really good. Thanks for the pic, that helps a lot!So I offered $600 a couple weeks ago and the guy JUST hit me back. He said he lost his phone and was wondering if I was still interested, I said maybe and gave him my $600 offer again. I'm thinking, if I can get it cheap enough I'll gut the passenger side and beat out the dents as much as possible for now. maybe drive it for a couple weeks until I figure out what to do with it...

How much you think it'd cost to fix this?!? Reply #36 – August 02, 2008, 07:15:42 PM Did Ford use shims under the fenders on these cars? I went and looked at it and under a couple of the fender bolts (under the hood line) there where rectangles of steel being used to shim the fenders up. There were no signs of structural damage and the shims were painted in place, same silver as the rest of the car... Quote Selected

How much you think it'd cost to fix this?!? Reply #38 – August 02, 2008, 07:28:01 PM ok, good to know... the car is a little worse body wise than I thought but underneath... oh man, i could see METAL and PAINT!! I was beautiful, no rust!! :D What's the problem you ask? oh yeah, it's the title that is conveniently in the name of the previous owner... another Marine who is supposedly deployed; Iraq. The current owner said he didn't retitle because he didn't know what he was going to do with it. Ugh. I can't buy a car and dump money into it wondering when someone is gonna show up and tell me it's stolen and being taken away. :(Oh, but I did get to drive it. Extremely disappointing in the lower rpms (couldn't even spin the tires when starting on pavement with loose gravel on top) but boosted 11-12 psi no problem and threw NO codes when I checked. Also has fully working ride control (sweet!) and the ABS is great; i almost lost some teeth on the steering wheel! Quote Selected
