not the cleanest ever but it’s far from a disaster

i would put some work into them if you are serious about the car because that surface rust will penetrate into holes quicker than you think

Get a screw driver and a hammer. Tap it with some force at the rust. See if the screw driver goes through.

S13?

Up on top of the gas tank, around the brake and fuel lines, as well as the top of the tank.

That’s where the salt and road crap ends up in RWD cars.

The front end will usually only rot from bad jacking or serious stress.

Well Spilly, we can’t all eat off our frame rails.

Well, we _could_

We’d just get tetanus.
