And more rust.





Parts are cheap though and the engines are very basic for easy repair.

Inner front wings, rear inner wings by doors, this is structural for the rear seat belts, rear of chassis on some cars and sills. The only mechanical part that ever left me stranded-ish was the clutch release fork that broke at 180K miles.

If your lucky you will find a import, they are virtually rust free.
