Would u swap a bad wiring harness with another car to have a cleaner FC?
 
Ok , i have 2 FC's one with a really fairly clean body (norust) one with a fair body but it is starting rust underneath etc. The one with no rust has a bad engine and main harness so all of it needs to be swapped with the harness(s) from the other car.

The clean one is red, the fair one is gold... and the gold looks like it may have been ina fender bender before (can tell from the bumper alignement with the lights), the red only looks like it may have hit acurb before, the alignment in the back is off and i can tell a lower control arm was replaced in the rear (theres yellow lettering lookin like its from a junkyard on it). Aside from that the red is good, may swap tranmission from the other car (gold) as the red seems to feel sloppy when in gear.

Would u go thru all this work to have a nicer cleaner fc or would u say who cares about if its goin to rust up in 2 years ?

heres a pic of the red one , if it works... http://us.f3.yahoofs.com/msgr/wtfdid...ouVOCBILuxcQKS

If a car has no rust, some proper care can prevent any "deadly" rust.

Just dont let it get out of control once it starts.

I live in CT, so i know what its like in this climate with the rust thing. :)

Fishing out the harness can be a real pita, but you might as well. It can save you from taking the intake off, if you so choose.

There is like no rust underneath from what i could see in comparison to the other car, especially under the wheel wells and on the body , the other seems like surface rust but is even inside the engine bay like on the strut towers ,this is from all dirt getting in there...idont know how but theres sand inside it everywhrere...would this happen from removing that clear plastic thing under the lights ? thats not on there on one side (where the intake is)
