Angry Rust!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I pulled my 7 off the road to put in a new engine that coming from japan, so i throught that would give it a new paint job as well!, so start to strip the 7 down to a shell and four wheels, opps i drop a srewdriver onto the hatch it just came away from the body!!! look under it the hatch WTF!!!!!! someone has very dodgy, and try weld on like metal bit hold all this **** up!! so out came the hammer and bang one hit on the back it all fell out !!

so $125 later i have a rear cut that has been sitting in japan for 19 years with no rust in it !!! so i have cut the damn thing out and weld in but the 7 will be good as new !!
