its been down for a while, so it quite possible it will need a new pan atleast on the driver side, i really didnt look at it very closely, i was kinda in a hurry, so i'll check it out once i get it home.

yeah, I'm super excited about this car, although its gunna be put on the backburner immediately, due to a previous agreement between my parents and my self to fix my dodge truck.

so now i just have to hurry up and fix the dodge, so i can start working on the rabbit...

Yeah..that is a lot of rust! Strut towers look good though, so at least that is one thing not to worry about. And it looks reasonably complete which is good.

Love that Champagne green or whatever they called it. One year only color I think.
