Hey guys, so In February I bought my 98 gst with 67k miles as my first car. The body seemed stupid clean until I got into it further. The car was infested with mouse nests everywhere and had sat for a good six years. Because of the neglect the car has accumulated a bit of rust.
Pros:
Car currently has 71k oil changes done very regularly
Body that is visible is pretty clean
All the maintenance has been done with all oem parts and car runs great.
Cons:
Small rust hole in rear passenger wheel well.
Small frame rail hole
Little surface on the shock tower that I covered(shouldn’t be an issue anymore gonna redo it in the spring)
What I think is rust bubbling under the clutch master but might of of been a brake fluid spill I can’t tell.
Big hole in the trunk by the antenna mast.
All other rust that I don’t know about
My question is do other dsmers think it’s really worth it to work this car (awd,full bolt on) or should I look to sell it and get a clean gsx. Please give any input you can because I have no idea what to do and need to decide so I can get a head start while it’s winter.
