WARNING! THE FOLLOWING PICTURES CONTAIN LARGE AMOUNTS OF SRUFACE RUST!
yes there is lots of rust on the underside of 713/1000. the good news is it's all surface rust. the lines, on the other hand, did not fair so well. from behind the rear seat back the lines had pretty much fallen apart. the 4ws rack was a mass of rust. so as of today, the 4ws subframe has been completely removed and replaced with a 60,000 mile dsm rear subframe. could have used a little paint but that can wait till spring when i clean the rust off and por 15 the whole underside of the car. also completely eliminated the abs except for the idot light in the gauges. cruise control is gone as well, replaced with new factory non-cruise cable. so as long as nothing leaks when it's filled, all thats left is to replace the front drivers lower balljoint and install some jdm goodies that i picked up today, in the form of switchable tranny and switchable t-case. this will be going in next friday. and now for the pictures...
