is a goner =( the frame is cheeese
Wow.. Have you posted pics of it? I don't recall seeing any pics or reading you had found one.
Whats your SE story?
i was trying to keep it a somewhat secret build.... till i showed up at some of the meets this year in it :D
would of worked out fine till i found what i did.

viewtopic.php?f=46&t=70026&start=15" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
the SE i found is in my worklog, pic is after i put on the zx2's and h&r springs. picked it up for 1000 bucks. at the time not realizing the frame has a nice rust hole in it. i knew the rockers needed fixed and a drivers door...

the rest of the cars mint aside from that including the interior. having said that..... the hole topic debate to fix or not to fix was created...

the gs only has 220k on it (kms)
my gs has 300k on it and is in better bodily shape/frame shape which is fine for the gs but sad for the SE. i didnt notice the hole in the frame till it was in my driveway with less snow under/around the car.

frame hole topic is
rusted hole where the water drains from the cowl down underneath behind the passenger side wheel well.

Oh yes.... i do recall seeing this... Thank you for refreshing my memory.
Im sorry she has a rust hole like that. My first SE has some rust in the
moonroof, so water drips in through the seatbelt track and fills the passanger
side floor with water. Is rather nasty to say the least. Im glad to have a new
one to drive. I don't want to say replace cuz im not replacing my first SE.
My first SE is my DD with 250,000 miles on it. It starts on a dime with no prob.
I hope the 2nd SE can live up to the first. My GS is completely different in evey way.
I wont go into it... pssst... the interior is not well loved here... LOL! Im talkin to u Charlie.

Have you made sure your moonroof drain is free of obstruction?

I did that check back when you guys mentioned it in another thread.
It is rusted out on that side. No way around it. It has got worse in the last few months
with all the extra rain this year. It rains on the roof, drips down in the drainage area and
through the open rusted spots and under the head liner through to the seat belt track
onto the floor.. making an inch or more of standing water. It's pretty bad.

Lame.
You should get a tarp :shock: Or you can put painters tape over the rubber.

My friend says he might need to build me some kind of car port or something to shelter the cars
from the weather. Since my car collection is growing again & as long as i stay under 13 he said.

Ummm... The car will need the seats for her new owner (me) and someone already asked for the knob.
One might call me a little tenacious when seeking the 3's I have. Especially this recent SE.
I searched far (out of state) and I called on EVERY MX-3 that was for sale (literally) I looked at some sh1t 3's,
I ran ad's & let some 3's find me. This 3 has been a roller coaster. I worked hard for this SE.
It isnt even here yet. It will be Monday after court. It's a long story.... with a happy ending for me.
