Weve discussed this before. I can get that rust fixed for WAY fucking cheaper than buying a shell and doing any sort of swaps. I advise that you bring that beast down to my house so my dad can check it out. I wont be checkting this thread again so PM me if you are serious about anything.

Strut tower rust CAN be fixed. Doors can be fixed and or replaced. Junking it would be stupid. Also, doing a swap in a N/t would be the biggest waste of time ever. And getting another AWD would be a waste of your money.

The last time I had a 2G with rust around the strut tower, I cut out the rust and fabbed up a panel, welded it in and painted it. Turned out pretty nice and not too tough to do.

I would fix it. I fixed all the rust on my car, maintain it with wax and undercoating and some grease here and there to cover spots that might come back and its working well.

Wow thats unbeleivable. 2G's suck. My car has been driven through every winter except this year and it never had that kind of rust. There is not a spec of rust under the hood.

haha, another reason 2g's rule.
"Pre-rusted" compared to 1g's.
I think the stealth might have rust on a bolt somewhere under the car....

On a serious note..The time and effort required to swap over all the parts or convert a fwd to an awd and then swap it all over is far less involved than having a GOOD body shop repair it Professionally. Take it over to josh's house and see what his dad says.

The best part is this. Look at your 2gs. Around the camber nuts...thats NOT a weld. Its body filler painted over. The 'pipe' your upper camber runs thru is NOT attatched to the strut tower, just the bottom is. The top has body filler around it so it doesnt move around much. I will have all 4 of mine welded to the car for more rigidity.
