Rust on towers means pretty bad thing...I don't think its worth the time putting the SR in to a car thats rusting. :(

The rust on the sideskirts isn't a big deal, but on the strut towers, that's a bad sign. I would say wait for a better car to put the SR in. Find one with no rust...rust is cancer =)

Since you're selling the car cause it's rusty, Let's trade hatches! i don't think i have much rust if any on it anyways. so what if it's red
