One of the previous owners felt 3/4" thick bondo was good enough for structural work. |

Little bubbles seem to mean no metal. |

Here you can see the sill falling away from the front fender. |

This looked like some surface rust, but shows right though. |

This shot shows the other side of the falling corner. |

On a positive note there was a little metal behind this rust. |

The driver's side sill is not as bad as the passenger's, but it still has to be replaced. |

More Bondo.We thought it was odd that this side looked so much better than the passenger side. |

This section is going to require some serious rust repair. The sanding disk we used would not cut into clean metal, only left a thin layer of surface |
|

|
Even the window sills are rotted. |

We found significant cancer under the weather strip. |

We plan on cleaning up this area to allow running the intake pipe to pick up some cold air, and possibly sneak in an intercooler! |

Engine bay looks unkempt, but has lots of potential. This is what a Metro Turbo engine setup looks like before cleaning. |

It actually cleaned up pretty good. This was taken after the engine degreaser but before the pressure washer. |

Some where down there is a tiny little turbo! |
