welcome (albeit a bit late )! anyway, ghlad to see that the rust was only surface rust. i hate FeO2! do you plan on stripping to bare metal or are you going to be using POR-15 products, etc?

Hey, welcome to the club. I had a look at your pics, mine was alot worse when I got it. If its all surface rust youre in good shape. I would keep digging however, just to make sure.

Keep us posted with your progress!

ill be stipping everything to the bare metal and then use some pour 15 to make sure i get everything.

My battery tray and adjacent sheet metal looked very similar (no holes ) - I gave the old clean up (wire brush and removed any loose rust) and a coat of POR 15. Worked perfect.

Good luck.

there was some rust on the driver side floor pan it wasnt a big concern it came off right away with a wire brush and sand paper. im currently stripping everything off to a bare shell and go from there i think the car is a whole lot better shape than i thought stripped the paint off on the passenger side and found a small dent repair on the door hopefully i dont find a big surprise on the driver side. i also have 2 sets of bumpers if anyone needs them i can let them go for a reasonable offer. i also have a passenger side fender w/headlight and asembly i will also be selling my engine and probably the tranny 4spd i dont know the condition of the engine the oil seams clean for the cars age and the PO said it needed a dizzy but the compression was good.

i took out my fuel tank and it had a lot of rust i heard people take them to radiator shops to get them cleaned. does it work? or should i get a fuel cell? i will do the rb26 swap but i wanted to keep my fuel tank because i can use the stock filler and a fuel cell i will have to fab something up to use the stock filler because i want the rear floor to look as if nothing was done. any ideas let me know ive searched and all i saw was fuel cells with the filler inside or behind the license plate. thanks
