| yeppers i know it... none there when i was building it theres actually a few kinks in the sheet metal joinery underneath the car where i think runoff may ocur(thats 1980 manufacturing for you) so i see no prob in just pumping the inside of the hole full of silocone where its rusted through then body deadening it ill run a hose after its done and see if anything still leaks |
