You know (I can't believe I'm syaing this) That might actually not look too bad.

I could try to take some more detailed photos of the assembly where the cable runs into the bracket that splits it between gas door, and trunk latch, since my car is conveniently rusted to oblivion right there:

 

I think the bodywork would make it more trouble than it's worth, but I drilled a hole through the handle of my car's gas cap and grafted on a retainer line that keeps me from losing the cap..

thats a whole lota rust did you spray paint over it or is that "remover"?

minimal effort.. grey rattlecan primer. one of these days I will do more, but for a long time I had to reach in that hole to open the gas door.. hence the tie wire you see. I may clean the rust off the metal and throw some fiberglass matt over the holes once I get into doing the same stuff on my Datsun..

 

..but the money demon plagues, and the holes are low priority.

my god man your windows ar really clean:banana:

Im still laughing at that.. How did you find a way to compliment me on that photo, outside of the nice green grass in mid december?
