Before I take everything apart, I figured it'd be a good idea to take pictures of everything so I don't forget where things go when putting it back together. |
  |
Battery tray is rusted through, but underneath is still very solid. |
  |
Having a few minutes left and not wanting to start something new, I cleaned up the engine bay a bit. Looks pretty decent. |
 |
Driver's rear quarter detail. It's in pretty good shape with the exception of the rust right around the wheel well lip. |
 |
The bottom of the quarter just has surface rust from the paint being worn off by gravel roads. |
 |
Frame rail is in very good shape, with only surface rust. If you look closely, you can see the original exhaust resonator. Yes, it still has the square exhaust tips. |
 |
Detail of rear frame rail. The car was originally undercoated and a lot of it is still under the car. |
|
|
The right quarter is in the same shape as the other side. Surface rust only on the lower section, with the wheel well lip rusting through. Definitely savable. |
 |
Left trunk extension is in reasonable shape. |
 |
Left front of trunk, including inner wheel well, is in great shape. |
 |
Right front of trunk and inner wheel well is in equally good shape. |
 |
The right trunk extension will need to be replaced. It's pretty thin in the grooves where it connects to the trunk pan. |
 |
The remnants of Simpson's Mid-State Motors, Inc. decal is still on the trunk panel beside the license plate. |
