    Default some rust pix












    Not very good pictures but without a lift the best angles i could get of the tank. Does it look very serious? There's some bubbling around the sunroof seal too and the scuffed tail skirt after the initial 400 grit wet sanding.

    yah ther're a couple of other small spots like that near mouldings, i got a local body shop quote me apx $300.00 to fix the undercarrige drain plug rot;

    and another silver dollar size patch that involved the front corner of the rear driver side wheel well and under the side skirt where it wraps around the fender lip and snaps in. May as well have everything done at one time before Winter.
