    I have a die grinder and a welder, it's like a car, we just want the shell, the rest is open to interpretation

    I dunno, they look like they're posing for her. The whole thing screams "we need photos for our portfolios so let's do this for free at the carwash"

    Wait are you saying you don't see rust? Haha. Not there, and that does make me feel good, but the frame rails and some misc stuff could use some work. And the whole underside is just coated in films of all sorts of shit, so I'm planning a pretty thorough clean

    I'd just use some butyl based patches if you're worried about those holes, Dynamat/roofing strips/flex tape morenor less all the same for that purpose and should hold up just fine assuming you clean the area and press them down firmly with a spudge or roller.

    Honestly though in my experience those patches keep stuff in jist as much as they keep out jury is still out on which is better but I think leaving them open and flushing them out a few times a year and spraying fluid film, T9, old oil, whatever in there is best.

    More work but more preservation IMHO.

    On an unrelated note, LC started squealing just now so...gave it it's dose of ATF.

    Seems I need to add a small amount every 3-4 months. Power steering leak is small, but enough to make a difference every few months.

    I was thinking, "Excuse me ma'am, can you take our photo after you're done with your rinse?" lol. But you're right, I bet this is on someones site as a work example.
    Or that couple sent that out as an announcement or invite to something. Yikes.

    Sometimes people are lucky and their friend knows what they are doing lol.

    my parents had their wedding shot by my mom's cousin and not only did she get sick the day of (like vomiting sick), she destroyed all the film and they only ended up with a few photos from other friends that brought disposable cameras.

    it turned out to be an ominous symbol for the future of their relationship anyway

    Naw Stephanie has a friend that's a photographer that'll be doing the shoot.

    Also, one of her friend's is gifting us a "photobooth" for any guests that wanna get their own pics taken.
