    Here she is!
    My car with over 211,000 miles.
    Only picture I have with it looking all shiny and fixed. Believe it or not, i rebuilt the whole area around the gas door. That pesky rust spot on all salty state W-Bodies.
    The engine the bottom block of a 2007 GT. So there is plenty of life in this car.
    Not so bad for $2k, at least i don't think so

    What did you do to fix it? sand, prime, paint, clear?

    well i grinded it down to bare metal... bare metal ended up being a whole through the fender... so i took a metal backing and welded it on, i can imagine you could do a fiberglass mesh too. and then i bondo-ed for days until it was perfect, and prime, paint, clear.

    The bottom end in your car is out of a 07 gt? So you have a low compression bottom end?

    It feels like it, but I haven't actually gotten a scanner or taken to dyno yet.
