Okay... here's where I'm at. My car has always pulled right a little, so when I noticed a place that does alignment checks, I had 'em take a look. They got it up on the lift, and like all Californians (
) they were afraid of the rust. But they did let me look all over the car while it was up there, and I snapped some photos of the rear with my phone. They also showed me a little something up front which was distressing. So here it is, here's everything I know about my car. I want to know if it's worth saving, or even if it's possible to save it.
First, pics of the rear.
Rust, rust, everywhere...
Rust so bad that it ate holes into the brake rotor guide.
And then...
-Most any part under the car is rusted
-Brake rotors need replacing (my own fault for not doing them when I did the calipers and pads)
-Engine Mounts are shot (front-left is literally split on top, front-right is very loose)
-Engine leaks oil from somewhere inside timing covers (probably cam caps)
-Car pulls right (probably a combination of factors)
Aside from that, nothing else. The overheating doesn't happen anymore.
So...verdict? Should I bother to spend any more money on this thing, or should I just get rid of it?
