So I have a 99 gtp that has become a rust bucket. What's the best thing to do at this point? Is there anyway I can get some money or something?

just rockers? or strut towers, fuel door, random spots?
07-14-2014
Rockers really bad and fuel door.
07-14-2014
Drive it into the ground.
07-14-2014
yeah ah I guess that's the plan til I can save up for another car. It's a shame it's so rusty it's a pretty cool car.Originally Posted by Fivefingerdeathpunch

you can buy replacement rockers and have them replaced. under fuel door is a little more in depth tho...

I'm trying not to put anymore money into the car.
07-14-2014
So if I do drive the car into the ground (which seems like I have to since I don't have the money for another car at this time) should I then just pick the parts that I can and send it to the scrap yard?

Sounds like the thing to do to me.
07-15-2014
got pics of the rust?

Pics would deff help.
You can spend very little money and make the car look decent until the hidden rust becomes so bad it has to go.

Also open to offers if anyone is interested.

If you're from the rust belt then you're in about average shape. I don't see any reason to scrap the car though. You could coat what's left of the rockers with por or chassis saver to stop it from getting worse.

Thanks. I will certainly look into this.

That's a little worse shape than my car is in. My plan is eventually find a rust free GP and swap all my parts over to it. Basically gut it and save the engine and trans too. Send the shell and w/e else is left to the scrap yard.

Your not in too bad of shape there. Mine's about the same. I'm planning on putting por15 on it. It's not even close to how bad it could be. My 98 GTP the entire rockers where rotted off so badly that the side skirts fell off and the struts where about to pop thru the towers.

I'm in the same boat, plus my car is high mileage, so I'm putting minimal amount of money into it and drive it until something major fails.
Fortunately, I moved down South, so I can buy a low-rust car down here.
07-21-2014
Yeah that's basically what I plan to do now. I'm going to use that chassis saver stuff to try and get the most out of the car that I can. In the mean time I'm starting to save and look around for my next car; I'm thinking LS-1 firebird.

Talk to Dan about rust.
