  • Got my new seatbelts today, unfortunately I can't install them...

    Sell car. Start over.

    Can you get a better picture of the arch where the pedestal should be? Hard to tell if the entire area is hacked up or if someone just cut it out.

      wow i thought more people looked inside and under panels now days, Shit I even ask for a jack so I can see better of the under side. If you don't want to fix it, sell it, or make into race car !

            Oh no, it's the whole thing. Here are some pics of the other side and underside..uploadfromtaptalk1407416933558.jpguploadfromtaptalk1407416987407.jpguploadfromtaptalk1407417034696.jpg

              I'm assuming somebody began a mini-tub project then decided not to finish?

                no, both rear wheel wells were/are completely rusted through. Looks to me like they just used this cheap super thin metal sheeting to keep rain and debris out. I can easily pick up steel rear wheel wells from classic industries or the like, but they hacked into the area where the seat belt mount goes so I have to solve that dilemma now. I have to replace the rusted through floor boards too. I'd sell the car and get a different one, but I took out a small loan for this so I figure I might as well just replace panels and por-15 the whole underside of the car, and the inside too.

                          That car is so far gone that I wouldn't put the time into it. Look for a roller. I got my second 1998 Z28 roller in Grandville for $800, rust free.

                            Hate to say it but I agree with hoogiez, it's just not worth it at that point.

                              I've learned my lesson. Where there is rust, you'll find more rust. If you don't see rust, start digging.
