I picked up a second 240, this one an '85, originally intended as a parts car, but now I'm thinking it is too nice to rip up.
Except for under the doors. It has rusted out real bad under there, and there are some sizable holes. I'm kind of at a loss to figure out why they have rusted to bad and how to stop the rot:
The car has supposedly spent its whole life in the desert, it is pretty low mileage and there is no rust anywhere else on the car. I've checked under the carpets and none in there either. What is going on here? Could something be draining into down there? This one has a sunroof, maybe the front drains? It is not just full of rust, it is full of plant material that might come down a drain.
I presume this section is not structural and it is a possibility to sawzall this section out of a JY car and transplant it, but I feel like there is an underlying problem that needs to be addressed first.
Thoughts?
