Housings bad?

Here are some pics if the housings in the 12A I just took apart. I'm pretty sure they're no good but I wanted corroboration.
The first two are the bottom and top of two different housings and the bottom is pretty representative of the irons.

Those are not useable.
Hang on to them anyways. Some day we might be able to re-chrome housings.

the rotor housings are gone. 21 gun salute time.

the side housings may be okay with rehab, but considering you'll likely have to get a complete engine just to get "decent" rotor housings, you'll probably find side housings in that quest, too.

Slap some new chrome on them and they'll be good as new!
