Yeah. It's actually just all the steel parts bolted to the car that have the corrosion. The car itself is pretty much perfect with the exception of the typical rust around the window type of stuff. But now...after all this, it's going to be the cleanest and most well sorted car in the north east...lol...
It's not mine, so all that happens here is I say "hey mike, I found this. It'll cost you "x" to fix it. He says "will it make it awesomer?"
And if I say "yes", it gets done...
So that's where we are. Awesomer.

I highly recommend a visit. Just there today with the alabama car for a winter oil change to Brad Penn 10-40 and installed a battery tender which is all it needs for now. Rob has literally transformed my car from a good daily driver to a totally sorted driver/track car. Driving home on the Merritt Parkway back to Long Island the car runs and drives to perfection. Pure satisfaction couldn't be happier.

And up on stands it went. Wheels off, those BBS wheels will be for sale...so if you are interested, shoot Mikep a PM...
Hooked everything up and the work started. Mike spent some time reversing a few things the previous owner installed. And I did most of the bleeding...the wood tray thing was to hold the amp in the frunk. We got rid of that and made that cleaner in there.
Have to say, over-all, this is a very good clean honest non-molested car. Only thing that doesn't belong is the stereo, but that was normal for the period. But, I wish it had been me buying this one. I like it a lot...
And then back down on the D90's, which look more appropriate I think...can't wait to lower the ride height a bit when we find a good used set of bilstein HD and springs. Anyone have a good set lying around with many more miles left?
