1st rust sighting inside and some distortion

Faz,

Those are pretty good pictures for a camera phone

Just take a few pictures from a larger distance so its easier to identify the location. Closeups can be confusing

Thank you sir.Well I will try as soon as I am back on my feet.ACL reconstruction is no walk in the park.Thank god for pain meds. I did get my headlights working popping up and down though,but there's a delay going down.Could it be my motors?

faz, if you wanne save the car always strip down everything. even sounddending is for sale if you want to put it back. Clear it out check all rust. Always cut it away with at least 2cm of extra space if not more. THen reweld and always work of the weld points so that they don't rust again.

Faz, the seat mounting points take a LOT of force in an accident, so they are critical. Unless you are trying to build it up as a show car...and even then, since it would be covered up by carpet...I would rebuild the mount and have some serious steel plate welded up to reinforce the floor pan where it is attached. Think of the injury if the seat comes loose during an impact. Steel plate is cheap.<G>

Ah,yes sir.I'll be sure to ask an expert.If it is something not within my reach I'll be sure to let someone who is a professional do it.I don't want to risk getting injured or letting anyone who drives my car get injured.Thank you so much for the info.
