[quote=“RedrRocket,post:20,topic:32151"”] rallyX beater? I miss my DOHC coupe. well. not really. [/quote] This car is in far too good shape for a rallyx beater. Thats what the other 95 or the 98 will be for. This one will most likely be host to another 2.4 turbo motor, or a silly n/a build. I’m not sure yet. In the meanwhile, I wanted to fix it up, so I could find and fix any other problems, so that its a good candidate for the swap. –mark ---

Another great way to remove rust is by, “electrolysis”. Done it in school, and once at home it works friggen amazing! [http://antique-engines.dickerson-design.com/electrol.asp](http://antique-engines.dickerson-design.com/electrol.asp) IF you dont feel like looking at the link, its just a stop at Wal Mart, Home Depot, ect. for a plastic tub, a battery charger, rebar, WASHING soda(NOT Baking soda), and water. Its an awsome way to get ride of rust completely. BTW, wanna run that neon against my wagon?? lol. kidding ---

All of the rust removers use a strong acid (usually phosphoric) so make sure you wash that stuff off well before painting or re-using the parts. Nice job on the clean up. ---

Worth noting, the car fired up today for the first time since I got it. It purred like a kitten. I replaced the fuel line, so there is no fuel leak there, but I have a small leak where I ripped an o-ring, so after I replace that, she should be good to go. –mark ---
