I'm still in the middle of doing a clutch and a variety of other 178K mi. maintenance. I found a rust spot, and it's in a difficult location. It's top of the right strut tower, backside, under the junction for the computer. I'll take a better look tomorrow and try to get a pic up. 95 Contour, 2.0L, stick, 178K mi.

So I should jump on my car as sson as possible too! "Do what you like, Because you have to drive it!"-Me 99 Contour LX 95 Mustang GT Convertible 97 Z24 Cavalier
