Looking Around And Cleaning Up

I got a chance to get under the car this past week and I am very pleased. There is very little rust other than surface rust. I vacuumed and washed out the trunk and it too only has surface rust. I also used a little polish and most of the oxidation came right off. It will still need a repaint but is shines pretty nice considering the car 34 is yo.
