I started tearing into it today..... It no longer has a motor, trans, exhaust, front seats or a shifter in it..... I did find a small amout of rust in the rear floor pans, nothing bad.....

Almost forgot, the motor seemed to have a miss and I found this spark plug in #8..... I did a compression test before taking it out and all checked extremely well, also took the motor down to the shortblock and found nothing wrong..... I guess they just put the plug in like that, NICE.....
