Rust on Caprice
Posted: Sun Oct 16, 2016 4:44 pm
Here are some shots of (some of) the rust issues the Caprice has behind the rear axle.
Left rear, behind gas tank. With flash for extra barnacles. Same side, a little forward of the last pic. Looking outward and up (gas tank can be seen at the top). This is a hole, no bones about it. Same shot but from the opposite side (looking inward and up). Black plastic thing is the gas tank. Still driver's side. The location is evident from the picture (spring, wheel/tire). Rear of the gas tank, body. This is the passenger side rear gas tank strap that you see. Right side, very rear of the frame. Another hole. Left side again, rear. Right side. More gaping hole. Looking at the rear of the car (rear bumper support area). I need to confirm but I believe the rest of the frame isn't anywhere near this bad. Parts of the body are getting bad, like the rear 1/4 and in front of the rear wheels, bottom of B-pillar area and a few other select places. Under the body isn't that bad, but I will look at more areas in future pics.
Kids, don't park your car on dirt or grass.
