Any rust on your car??? 200

Even if there is no visible rust - probe inside the rear wheel wells - at the front - where the rear seat seat belt lower anchors are....

Reach in front of the tire and poke around - any rust -

My 87 245 was so rusted there that the seat belt anchor would have torn loose if we had been in a collision...

I was able to cut the part of the wheel well from an 80 245 that was not rusted there - and welded in the patches - anchor receiver and all.

Just a safety idea......

Also - definitely grab any fuses, dash switches, interior and instrument light bulbs - these are sometimes hard to find - and are the first thing I check for at the pick-u-part yard..........


Good luck
