      Well it does have rust. Already fixed 1 rear shock tower and have a few holes here and there. But I think I'll remove the engine and start fixing the rust. I think I will just slowly restore it.

                  Bought a used low mile engine from a board member in NJ. Did timing belt service, valve adjustment, cleaned it up and dropped it in. Car runs like a Swiss watch now. Going to round up some panels and start the rust repair.

                      Holy crap that's a nice mess.

                      I don't have an iX but good to see you put her back on the road! :)
