Hey guys, I recently pulled out the carpet and insulation and there was rust, but only on the passenger side. The drivers side was in nice shape.
The cowl doesn't leak, its sealed. But... I do remember that when I got the car the heater core was busted. It was pretty bad and I could tell that they were original heater hoses so I doubt he ever replaced the heater core. When my parents bought the car all the owner said was that the heater didn't work well. So...who knows how long the heater core was leaking...
Would that be a contributor to the rusting? another cause might be is the fact that the seat bolts don't have plugs and grommets underneath.
