Thanks Gary, I'll be sanding and painting as soon as I can. The car does have rust...(under the battery, in the hatch, over the rear lights) but I'm not sure how much yet. I've peeled back the carpet inside and that doesn't look too bad. I'm looking for a good body shop in the area here to address the major rust first. I teach for a living so the shop will also have to be somewhat affordable. I know there is a local club here, just gotta find em and see what they recommend. Jacob
