Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Crap Box Gremlin Gets Attention...[1-24]

Looks like you got your hands full with that repair job. But it looks
like you are making progress. Luckily for me where my rockers are rusted
on the yellow car it doesn't appear to be as serious as what you are up
against. My orange car is a 99% rust free Florida car with only a few
very minor easily fixed rust issues. The major work was mechanical to
the tune of 4,500$. The interior is going to be around 1,800$. But i'd
still go for a rust free car needing major mechanical work over one
needing major rust repair if I had my choice.
