    Lol. I guess u r the rust guru here.
    So the fuel and brake line has rust. I painted then.
    The only thing that really sounds dead is the frame ,when u knock on it u know its dead. The rest of the stuff still pealing but sounds like it has a little metal inside.

    I just hope the brakes and fuel won't pop when I hit the brakes.
    Or my wheels will fall off. Omg. WTH I just bought this car.

    I've been driving my car for almost 3 years with nothing left of my rocker panels and my side skirts sagging. Looks like **** but it gets me to work and back. It only has 155,000kms on it too.

    Both my rear brake lines blew at different times. Both on days it was raining so when I was fixing it I got all wet. I just used compression fittings and patched it.

    My right outer rocker flaps in the wind, my brake lines from the firewall back blew apart during a hard brake one night($700 fix), but I still drive and keep going, I just use the subframe to lift. One day I will move on, right now though I'm enjoying it while I can.

    The thing is gtp with good miles cost 4000 and up and that's the up to 03.

    04 is like 6000 and up.

    Usually gtps from owners are bad. Cz they modded till something went bad then they sell.

    If you really really really want to keep your car...either get one busted engine/trans one for $500 then a extra $1000 to get it shipped because I wouldnt want to spend alot of money on rockers being welded and pieces of metal unless you do it yourself. I have a drivers side rocker brand new and If the car im suppose to be grabbing is fine then I'll sell it. I paid $129 for it

    You got raped fixing that brake line. No wonder it took you so long to get the pregens on.
