I don't think I would gripe too much about the rust. When you can look in and see the shoelaces of you own shoe then you have something to gripe about... LOL....


Seriously that is not near as bad as some on here can attest to finding once they got as far as you have. Be thankful it was not worse.

Good luck with the rest of it. PS: I would post the vin # just in case someone might have your original block or tranny.

Not griping so much about the rust...truthfully I expected some, and I wasn't disappointed lol. I've fixed a heckuvalot worse.

However, scraping that roofing tar & tar paper out is another story. This stuff is harder to remove than undercoating! At least you can use a propane torch to heat undercoating so it'll scrape off easily. Not a good idea with tar paper.

I might post up the VIN at a later date, but I seriously doubt the original engine is likely to surface.
