[QUOTE="92Buick, post: 368162, member: 62854"] I am in British Columbia but nowhere near the ocean so I don’t know much about the condition the cars might be in near salt water. First check absolutely every part, under the carpet in the truck, the Frame rails, the exhaust, and under the floor mats. Rust on wheel wheels can be fixed but BE CAREFUL! Body work is usually way more than DIY mechanical and with such a big car you can get in over your head pretty quick. I would even try to loosen a random screw or bolt just to see how far that rust is down the threads. Check the wheels and lugnuts too, salt is the enemy. The Caprice is easier to repair in some ways, but if you are getting a b-body I would advise either the Buick or the 96 Impala or not at all lol. Keep me posted I have been working on cars for almost 20 years and I still love my Monster more every year. In the world of plastic and Fiat junk, it’s nice to drive real Detroit steel👍 [/QUOTE]
