just fix it man. that way you'll know its all done. if you go out and find another one they could have covered rust up some other way, or you just miss it somehow and if you spend all that time looking for a "rust free" car, you might end up with a car with some rust anyways. just fix it. plus when its all done and you get it running and all the rust is fixed you'll fell awesome. dont worry about getting it running in time, just take your time and do it right.

we all believe in you

Well since the interior and exterior pannels are so nice you should be able to sell them off and pretty much cover a cleaner Fox.

its sad that a fox is worth more as parts than a whole car. I got more for my last vert that the floor and trunk rusted out on than I ever would have gotten trying to sell it as a whole car. even if I did do a bang up job of hiding the rust.

Wow. That was sudden.

The hatch is nice, though. Good score.
