My black Z34 has holes the size of fists in the rocker...went to bolt my Crosslaces on yesterday and realized the trailing arm weld has been compromised...pending diagnosis from a welding shop, as I don't know if there's any decent unibody to weld TO, the old Getrag Lumina may be turning its last few miles on its odometer (gotta run the 10 gallons of gas out of it, no matter how doglegged it is:thumbsup:)

 

 

sigh...:rolleyes:

Sophia is pretty rusty. I'll get a pic when the snow thaws and when the ground won't freeze my ass to lay on the ground and snap picture of the underside of my car.

Good idea:thumbsup: I put a starter on my black Z on frozen ground once and was sick for days...

Well Sam it looks like you'll just have to put the getrag in the white z and use the black one for parts... Especially timing belt parts

Monte got a nice coat of 3M rubberized undercoating!! Whole underside got done! 3 or 4 full cans of that stuff!!

 

The Lumina doesn't have any rust on the underside. Its dirty, grungy and nasty, just not rusty. Although the pinch weld on the divers side by the front of the door is mangle, either the PO tried to jack it up wrong, or hit something with the pinch weld.

my 2000 buick isnt so great. its been through only 4 winters too.
ya, my 98 is worse than the 91 GTP I had. Still surface rust but worse.

Wow the underside of that monte looks great.

I wish i would have taken a photo b4 i did the undercoating! It was SPOTLESS. I'm in love with this car.

Here's a 5 speed Petty Edition I parted a while ago. Probably the worst underside I've ever seen. I broke the trailing arm mounts off the body by hand! Poor car

Aw man! A couple of tiger hair and wax paper patches would have fixed her right up! Could have put another hundred thousand on the ol' gal!!

It's loud as f*ck. But it's also rusted through the cat pipe... so multiple sounds coming from it.

 

Here is what it sounded like before this one chamber flowmaster muffler/SS tip rusted off. It doesn't sound much different than this really...

My 2000 GTP is pretty bad but still fixable, I bought it in Buffalo. Worst place to buy a car if you don't like rust. Live and learn. I'll throw up pics when I get a chance... Deep fried underbody anyone?

 

EDIT: added some pics of the rockers from above... you can imagine the rest lol
