So I cleaned the outside of the car today. 15 years of tree droppings. The body is amazing. only one golf ball size dent on top of left front fender. One minor rust through of the back bottom edge of the right side door door. I do not understand these flow through doors. Water flows down the window into the door and flows out the bottom. That is the way it is designed. Yes? When I washed it today water just flowed out the 1 inch diameter rust spot. So when I cur this small spot out, do I need to put a drain there? The rubber guard on the sides of the car has done a wonderful job. No parking lot dings anywhere. When I wash the car a lot of dirty water flows out from under the rubber. I fear that rust may be hiding under. I need to remove these for paint anyway, will someone please tell me how to remove them. I will strip out the interior next.
I noticed that there is no insulation blanket under the hood. There is not glue or residue of any kind there. Did pintos have insulation blankets, My bobcat does?
thank you
