Bad news for my 300D
Not only did I find evidence of an accident, but some more rust that is not good.
I do not have a camera but I can describe what I found.
In the trunk the right side of the luggage platform, there is a a spot where the metal has buckled. There is also rust forming there, then along the edge parallel to the bumper. Carfax gave the car a clean history with no accidents other than the time it was broken into.
I know I have a leak allowing water into the rear passenger foot well. Well apparently a spot has rusted through the floor board, about dime sized, its not complete but if I push on it, its crunchy.
plan is to go in and strip the tar off the floor, clean it up as best as possible to clean metal, POR-15 is and fiberglass over it. The trunk is an ongoing issue.
I like my car and don't think this will kill it in a years time, maybe 10 years so anything to slow it down. i could always just sell it and buy that wagon I have been wanting.
