The drivers side pan is perfect, but the passengers side pan has been repaired before. The person who did it did not do a bad job so i am thinking of leaving it like it is. I really don't feel like tearing into the pans. Other than that there is no rust on the car that i can find. I also got a set of low backs to put in it so by bye red seats.
