A Small Bit Of Bad News :( (but it is not too bad)

May 1, 2012 Uncategorized

While cleaning out the rocker area I uncovered some severely rusted metal under the fiberglass, who would have known there would be metal in a fiberglass car 🙂 The good news as major as it looks it will only set the project back a day or so and about $400.
