Unpleasant finding......I was just under my car and found out why the plastic trim down the driver's side sags a bit at the back. I was hoping a clip there was broken but no, the clip is fine, there's just a fist-sized rust hole in the underside! There's nothing for the clip to clip to.

Jack point is still solid but dang, I wish I had known that before having the dog leg replaced!

What to do? Fix that also and continue or speed up plans to sell car?

1) Speed up plans to sell, if you can. Sounds like a headache like mine. If it wasnt for the fact I paid $200 for my car and do all the work myself, even mine would have been long gone. Heck, even after I repolace the timing belt, she is getting a new home.

2) cut it all out if the rust is only on the thin body part, get some POR to paint the edges (or some good layers of primer), a ltittle fiber glass in stretegic plaes for the clips and ride it out.


Obviously you now know to go grab a sandwich and spend 3 hours under the car poking and prodding EVERYWHERE to see whats going on. If the rest is good to go, just ride it out (pun intended). Less metal is a weight savings anyways.
