Where's Huston when you need them.

I've known about the rust on the passenger side engine, since buying the car. It's bad. But as I break the car further and further down, I'm getting a clearer picture of just what I'm up againest. And I see more dollars going into that part of the car than I had planed. "But it seems the plans are to be changed!" (And so are the sheets).

This should be a stright line. That strange fold is not suppose to be there....

It seems that it is so bad, that at one point the previous owner tried to jack the car up using one of the jack points, and it gave way. When I tried the back-up jack point, under that car; I found that it was gone as well. Well not gone, but someone had also tried to jack the car up there as well, and the whole section had folded up and retreated further up into the car.

At this point I'm not even too sure where to put the jacks to remove the engine... It could be the only thing holding the right side of the car together.

It's not, and I've been told to use the rear suspension points when removing the engine.

But, dang, that's a lot of rust.
