    Project Frame Repair, and Rust Prevention.

    Yep, it's true and I'm sure some others of us have this same issue, I have ruted it to the condensor drain. So I'll fix that problem, and repair the frame. Don't run away at first site, it looks bad but will be back together in no time. Gotta love wleding!! (HEY WHERE IS THE WELDING EMOTICON!!??)

    Here is the first pics of it, I already removed the bulk of the rusted part.

        Keep in mind that I did cut all that out, even though it looks like it just rusted clear off. The outside face did have a long clean rust through, but the bottom was there (with some holes).

                  That's a hell of alot of rust. I'd cut another rail off another car.

                      Have you ever read my sig, or even looked at my car? There is a lot of work put in this car, and a little bit of the R word is not going to scare me off. Total work time is up to 2hours now. I've got all the cutting and removal of rust done. All that is left is to get rusto-paint, the new metal, and :welder: it all together. It'll be good as new, you'll see...have faith young padawan. (Yes I know I'm younger than he)

                        AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! sorry I lost it there for a minute.

                        Glad to see you are fixing it up though. Its just that one side?? Definitly looks like some AC water was just pouring right down the rail for 18 years.

                          Yeah, you can see the body beside the frame. It's in perfect shape. It's just that one spot, on the frame only. When I'm done I'll be running the AC drain somewhere else.

                              Hm, my AC drain bails out of the evaporator case and kinda just runs down near the firewall and out on the ground. how are drain tubes routed on Vics?
