88 XR-7 red 146K mi Sykesville, MD orig owner Reply #2 – August 11, 2013, 06:33:12 PM Quote from: Kafer79;419871Any rust?No. Slight, and I mean slight top layer of flaking on the inside edge of the bottom of the doors. So minor that a whisking away, cleaning and rust preventer is all that would be needed. It does not affect the metal down there and definitely not affecting the outside edge. The very bottom edge isn't affected either as the door skin still rolls/wraps nicely around the bottom edge and you can run your finger along the bottom of the door where the skin rolls/wraps under.

I don't know where though as I didn't have reason to seek out the areas where the exhaust was rusted out since exhaust is easy enough to replace anyway - except maybe the headers or manifolds (little more involved as you all know).The right rear quarter was repainted but for damage only at the very bottom below the molding. I pulled the trunk liner back and the back side of the quarter looked untouched. I had to reach all the way down at the bottom to feel any irregularities on the back side from the repair.I suspect the moonroof is an ASC or similar installed by the dealer or between the factory and the dealer. He is the original owner and the moonroof has been there since new but it's not the same style as the factory ones with the louvered shade and chrome strip around the perimeter. Quote Selected
