Thanks for the compliment on my Member Journal. I have to admit doing the MODding is almost easier than the write up. :icon_eek:

As to posting pictures or links. You're required to have 15 posts to link to a host (to prevent spamming), but you can attach pictures (thumbnails) now. :wink:

ah perfect! well then here it is!
the second one is the part im still contemplating about whether or not to make the purchase. its the only real issue i see with the vehicle. so should i go for it?

Is it the rusting that has you concerned? If you're in a State that salts the roads in the winter, it's going to be difficult to find an '03 that's rust free. Here in Oregon, they don't use road salts, so even our '95 Neon is rust free. :smile:

yeah its the rusting, must be nice to live in a salt free state! so its nothing to really be concerned about?

If there's no body rust, most of the stuff underneath can be cleaned off & painted. It will be a PIA, but it can be done over the summer. You're going to have to get under there & have a good look. Better to know what's under there before you buy it. If the rusting is excessive, you might get the asking price reduced. :wink:
