A couple days late on this, but I finally found time to pull the seats and carpet out of my 86 coupe I picked up a while back. Not sure how many of you saw my other post a couple months ago, but it's been sitting outside for, I'm guessing, about 15 yrs. Just as suspected, the carpets were wet and floor pans rotten. I got a better look underneath, too. the torque boxes are a little rusty, but I think they're still solid. I still think I can save this one, but it's going to take a little more work than I thought. Shock towers are still healthy, lower radiator support is toast (but fairly easy fix, car is a hard top...no sunroof, so it's in good shape.
I picked up a pair of rust-free doors for it along with a rust-free hatch for my 82gt. I've been looking for a t-top car getting parted so I can convert the 82, and I've been tinkering with a couple 8.8 rear ends...one that's going in my pace car and the other going in my wife's 88gt. No buts about it...I have too many irons in the fire!
