I only got about a half inch of snow here, wasn't much of anything at all. I've been busy working on the car, rear driveshaft loop is in place, and I'm starting to wire up my a-pillar gauges that I never got time to do last summer.

I am looking for a mustang very similar to this. However judged on the carfax report, I'm guessing this car has been driven through the winter, and I dont want it if it's all rusty underneath.

I'm somewhat close to there, probably about a half hour or less driving time depending on traffic. Most Mustangs around here have been driven in snow at some point. Even right now I could go looking in parking lots and see at least a few Mustangs that are salt covered. The picture they have of it suggests it has been in some snow too.

I bought mine when it was 1 year old and it had a water leak, it was obvious my car was garaged all the time. I only drove it every day for one summer and then it became my weekend toy.

I just got done running wiring in my car from my gauge pillar for power, ground, and lighting. The lighting works and the gauges have power to them, so all I need to do now is put the senders in and run two wires from the engine bay to under the dash to finish it off.

thanks justin, that's what I figured. I'm not even going to think about anything that could have seen snow.

I don't blame you. Unless cars are undercoated when new around here, they go bad pretty fast. Both my Escort and the 'stang got undercoated shortly after purchase. The Escort is a 97 and shows no rust at all, underside is clean as can be. It was bought new by my parents and passed on to me when I bought my townhouse. The 'stang got undercoated as a protective measure as well, even though I had no intent to let it see salt at all.

Yeah, thanks mother nature, I will probably have to leave an extra hour early for work. At least that is my plan.
