Russ-

That's a great color you've got, can't wait to see the finished result! I'll be interested in hearing how people take care of the headlight washers as well. There's something I never use.

Russ,

That is going to look sharp when your done -- nothing but curves and chrome pipes!

Unfortunately, the glass and rubber may have to come out to properly treat the rust. But on the positive side, this will give you a good opportunity to delete the rear wiper as it is not a good idea to weld the holes closed with the glass in anyway. Edit: I should have read more carefully as you have another hatch waiting.

Here's mine - no rub strips, no rear wiper, no headlight squirters, no sunroof.

Scott,
Did you delete it all or was it not there in the first place.

I deleted the rear wiper and the headlight squirters. The car had no sunroof or rub strips.

Russ I actually like the rub strips. Mine doesn't have them. My car was also a florida car so I have the same rust issues. And I thought these cars weren't supposed to rust. You gonna put the rear wings back on? Jason

The car is at stock height and, unfortunately, I do not have the adjustable front suspension. This is on my list of things to mod -- in fact I've been looking for a good used adjustable front set-up.
