In Reply to: will that fix the leaks????????? posted by robert on December 15, 1999 at 22:36:32:
If you have some time...I would pull the fenders and seats out. Clean up everything under the fenders and around the cowl vents. What I'm gonna do for now on my floor boards is just epoxy some sheet metal to the floors, and carpet over them when I have the time to get to the cowl vents. I discovered that when I pulled my fenders off, somebody had bondo'd all the rusted areas, but they never got all the way to the cowl vents. Eventually the rings on the vents fell threw my heater ducts, along with alot of dirt, leaves, and rusted metal pieces.
Most important thing to do is fix the cowl vents, and make sure you don't have any water gettin in the car. Then you don't have to worry about the problem getting worse, and you can take your time repairing all the rusted stuff.
: or is their any thing else i will have to do and my car is rusted behind the fenders under neith the car is their any way to fix that the car was basicly for free and i am 18 and its my first car and its way cool to own a maverick i got some good ideas and a 5.0 sitting on an engine stand that i am going to put in it after i am done building it and many $$$$$$ later thanks for the help
