Looks good.

Rust issues?
There used to be a place in downtown Akron that would shoot oil for winter driven cars. Stunk to high heaven but it really helped back in the day. Of course the first couple miles it looked like you were gonna go up in flames.

A couple of spots on the left quarter are bubbling up. I had it rustproofed by Ultra Cote right after I bought it (I used to work there and trusted their work). Sadly they are no longer in business.

Awesome! Looks like you are really out enjoying it. I’m sad that we are beginning to see these cars rust I’ve seen a couple online in the last few months that have rust right where the front most tip of the rear bumper attaches to the body. Hate to think these things are going to start rusting away in the coming years.

Coolant flush & T-stat, brake flush at 130K , trans and diff service (twice) once at 50K and again at 140K. New Battery @ 130K and brakes at 100K. Regular oil changes @ 12,000 (all AMSOIL fluids). No real hard driving, just A LOT of highway miles (100 day to & from work).
