*also posted on SF*
i'm not at my mom's house at the moment, and my car is there so i can't check it...but i have a few questions about rust
1. my alternator and brake booster are rusty...since they're both under the hood, i would be correct in assuming that i may have some frame rust right? there is one rust spot under the windshield, and one on my rear wiper on the body...so it seems like a contradiction (pictures of car/engine in cardomain)
2. is the frame replaceable if i need to?
3. i also have leaky tail lights and a leaky hatch, which gave me a swamp in my spare tire well...i have the rubber caps out so it can drain, but i want to fix it if at all possible....is it?
i want to keep this car...it's hard to find MKIII's in my area and i won't get much for this car anyway until i fix it (BHG)...if i keep it, i also want to (in the next 2 or 3 years) swap a turbo engine (7M or 1JZ....not sure) into it and make some power...so i need a strong frame (duh!)
also, do you think i should post in the regional section asking for help for next weekend?
thanks for the help!
