Chassis rust and corrosion is not much of an issue here. The roads are not salted in the winter time.

This car was purchased from the original owner's family in August. It had never had much maintenance. The engine was quite oil encrusted and not knowing it's history, we are replacing it with a used 1991 B230FT. The AW71 transmission is being replaced by an M46, and the rear end is being changed from 3.73 to 3.54 ratio. Lots of work!

Evan spent a lot of time cleaning the engine compartment. If he has time before returning to college, he will clean the under side of the chassis.

The attached picture was taken Christmas day when we removed the engine and transmission from the wrecked 1987 744T which donated its new clutch, clutch linkage, brake/clutch pedals. The P type OD on the M46 has a bad one way clutch, so the car is getting an M46 with J type OD which I purchased for a price even Don Foster would say is cheap.
