This is the official end of the build of this car. I just dropped it off at the wreckers.

Just in case anyone is wondering, I have my new 94 VX, but I will stay as 2000neon.

Here are 2 pictures of some of the rust that I mentioned,

The driver's side quarter panel, the rust went way up into the fender and was creeping inside of the door as well.

One of the big concerns was the rockers, you can see the whole right through it, and the rest of it was severely degraded, it provided next to no support, and would disintegrate in an accident, this was a major safety concern.

Also, I didn't get a picture of it, but the front subframe was very rotten as well, the passenger side that mounted it to the car could be poked through with a screwdriver. Again, not safe at all.

I almost forgot, I beat my previous record on the way down to Ohio, 49.7 MPG
