I bought a 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS a while back. It's got some severe rust on the strut towers and behind the rear wheel wells as well as that supporting member that holds up the radiator. The rust is pretty bad not only that but the 420A double overhead cam Chrysler motor in it is letting out this horrible ticking noise I can't seem to figure out where it's coming from or what's causing it. Any thoughts?
