I cut away all the extra metal on the passenger side inner suspension mounts. I have it pretty well figured out now. I got some of the metal for it today, they dropped off what they had in stock but the rest will be in either tomorrow or next friday.

After I cut away some of the unibody I was kind of surprised how they made these cars. There are so many layers that are 1/4 inch apart with no way for water or dirt to run out of it there is no wonder that these cars rust out as fast as they do. I see some things that would probably help keep the cars from rusting out as bad but really I would say anyone who owns one of these cars should put about a gallon of oil into the front and rear suspension mounts every year to help control rust.
