put it on EBay and call it surface rust. That carpet is what did you in.

combination of the carpet and the rusted cowl, it's almost like a waterfall when it rains. i'll sell it to los angeles, they can call it art and hang it on the museum wall! ;D

Plenty fixable, especially since you have the parts. Once you get the old floor sectioned out and the new pan fitted, you may be able to work the channel back up to the new pan section.

Hey, whats with needing head work ? I thought you did this awhile back ?

p.s. --- When did you leave the 45th ? You were gone Sunday morning when we all went to the test area

we left about an hour after the photo shoot. both of us were tired, i had t get back home and get ready for work.

as for the head work, i just put this engine in a few years ago. it's got proly between 15k and 20k miles on it, it was a crap build by a shop in phoenix famous for doing crap builds. it'll be good when i get done with this.
