whats up people, i may as well start with the backround of where this POOPRA came from..
Once apon a time, there was this lonely grey sports car. This car was not only dying to be driven but soooo far from home and very lonely. This poor thing had arizona liscence plates on it and boy did the faded paint and torn up interior back that up...now at this time i was only 16 years old and knew absolutely nothing about cars really, i knew that i didn't mind workin on 'em but that was about it...now do u think i had any clue what i had found?!? hell no...I must be a lucky bastard to have stumbled on this gem especially considering how much i paid for it...........so anyways the story continues with me running this poorly takin care off vehicle into the ground and blowing the shit out of the head gasket (what a SUPRAise huh?) ...Now its been a good year and a half since ive driven the car and this past winter i decided to rebuild the motor so i could get this thing back on the road... heres some pics to give a hint as to what im workin on here..

toyota was thinkin ahead when they built this car, they must have known that someday I would find gallons of nasty brew in the trunk, there was drain plugs in the floor, how cool...heres a shot of the koolaid trying to mimic tha niagra falls...

Wow brings back memories!!! Mine was worse. My bet if you had water in the spare tire pull the rear side pannells and I bet water is sitting inside the rear quarters. Ebay and sm are your friends for parts. Goodluck!!!

How would you get the water out of the rear quarters??? other than throwing in some rags to soak it up....What would you use to prevent further rusting??

Soak it up, Drill a few small holes, Blow dry it. They make a spray on rust stopper taht will prevent further rust if it is not too bad. Other than that

Cut It Out!:nono:

Thanks man, when i got my car the right tail light gasket was non existant and apparently the car just stood there for about 3 years or so, The rest of it is not bad at all but that right rear quarter has been buggin the shit of me... i've been spraying wd-40 in there periodically, i dont think it does a whole of alot though.... so thanks man i will have to try that.
