Less rust is best. I just look at the hours that it takes to get a car back to "normal". Travel time and extra cost can definally be worth it.

it's super hard to keep the car square. after that rockers and a host of other stuff comes up. 02's were pretty light cars, and built single wall thin. they used good metal though.

Probably would have to build some sort of jig, or weld in cross-supports before cutting out the towers?
I've never done shock towers before, but always into learning.

Get a vette

Definitely considering it. I've never owned a V8. 😅

Well .... I'd be happy to help. However, I'm not sure %100 what you'd want to know. If you want to chat, I've got time on my commutes (shoot me a PM with your number). There are good deals that pop up, you just have to be ready to act. In fact, there's some fantastic deals if you know where to look.

Thanks Andrew, may take you up on that if I find a car that is a serious candidate in the future.

Agreed that it's an easier time with less rust. Although I increasingly enjoy metal fab/repair the more I do it.
Wasn't even upset when I found my E28 floors like this under the carpet. Looking forward to repairing them in the springtime. 🙂
