took everything out down to just being a tub, gas tank wasnt even rusted to bad still had oem undercoating. i recoated the gas tank to flat black, cut out the spare tire carrier and got a flat stock piece welded in, cleaned everything up primed and painted it all flat black.

the saddest part was cutting out the roll cage that definitely wasnt saving anyones lives. it looked good but the welds were trash and they missed the top halfs of the pipes because they built and welded it in the car, which sucks.

after doing the engine bay i can finally put the brake lines and return line back on, i did however change out the oem steel lines for brand new coppper line.

hopefully it doesnt see to much rain or snow, regardless copper doesnt rust it oxidizes it might flake but it shouldnt ever rust out.
 
oh yeah its not just straight copper but they say this shit shouldnt ever rust out, id say it outlast the car too but f*** do i got a clean dsm to build
 
How did you remove the rust on the cam lobes?

when i bought this car and the guy dropped it off at my house, i never knew i was going to open the glove box to find a play station in there. i bought a tucked away 90's build. i had to go thru the mess of wires from the SAFC and turbo timer. there was also an aftermarket alarm system which was mad annoying, it went pretty smooth tho, its alot cleaner now!
