psychopyro31106 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 ok, so heres the story, I had a busted intake gasket the day got it, a month after getting that fixed my transmission went out, with no hard driving or neutral drops. I took a tire off because It was low in my garage, and see this... Upon further investigation This leads me to believe that this car was flooded at one point... Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 are you serious? even my Cutlass is in worse shape than that, and it's not bad at all for a New England car... have you never seen rust? where do you live, mexico? Quote
Robby1870 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Yeah, thats not that bad for an old car. Quote
Crazy K Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 I can't find it anymore... but there was a 88ish regal coupe with the front of the driver side drag link draggin all the time on the road.... with part of the body attached... Now... THATS RUST!!!!! psychopyro31106, the only think that is tuuelly rusty on your car is the strut pictured up close in the 4th pic. Everything else is simple surface rust. Quote
DaveFromColorado Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 ... why not take a look at my post "my rear brake adventure" in the suspension/breaks section and then we can compare who's got more rust. --Dave. Quote
5speedz34 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Dude what are you smoking?! That is all surface and easily fixable. Take a look at my photobucket and look at rusted w's. The bolt on the seat every w that comes into contact with water at one point or another is going to have that. Quote
99RegalGS Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Any of you guys remember Ben's (Sappy's) old Cutlass?? Now that thing had rust. Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Yeah my 95 is rusty (maybe not quite that bad, but pretty close). My 88 now THAT was rusty... all the frame on the bottem was starting to crack through to the point I was getting afraid to go under the car. LOTS of rust would fall off by hitting stuff underneigth. That's why I got rid of it.. Quote
ToroToro Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Yeah, that's not bad at all. My 94 was way worse. At least I can still see paint on YOUR suspension. My gas tank isn't rusted at all though. Rest assured that you have one of the least rusted first gens I've seen in awhile. Quote
fastbird232 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Wow. That's in pretty good shape, to tell you the truth. Quote
1990lumina Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 I love galvinized...my car is zero rust underneath except for the rear bumper support, which is rotted through pretty much Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 wow, i'm glad my Cutlass is from Wyoming. my Cutlass is clean and dry as can be. my STE is about the same. Quote
Crazy K Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Check out STE in my photobucket. holy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Quote
White93z34 Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 WHAT??? thats not rusty, thats average, if not good around here in any rate. Quote
psychopyro31106 Posted March 12, 2006 Author Report Posted March 12, 2006 It strikes me as troubled for the mileage (63k), plus the interior PAINTED pieces being rusted!!! I guess I am comparing to my 92 accord and my 79 malibu... Quote

Brian P Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 it might have been sitting for a little while with the windows up and on top of grass, but that's still no flood evidence. Change the struts and mounts soon as I'm sure the rear mounts will fall apart soon....other than that, looks all average to me. Who's friggin STE and tell me thats a parts car! :shock: Quote
cutlsp Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 Who's friggin STE and tell me thats a parts car! :shock: I think its Jeremy's new STE :? and that rust on your car is average for our cars. Quote
Euro Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 that's not too bad...suprisingly mines nto that bad..even with 12 years of IL winters Quote
94CutlassSLCoupe Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 My car looks just like that underneath except my strut mounts don't look that bad. and mine has a whopping 44k miles on it Quote
SigEpCutlass Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 wow my car doesn't look like that at all... and what the hell WAS this ?!? Quote
Supreme Cutlass Posted March 12, 2006 Report Posted March 12, 2006 wow my car doesn't look like that at all... and what the hell WAS this ?!? The Titanic Quote
