Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated.

The thing that gets me is this is not an ocean car. It's lived its entire life in Central Washington (which is high desert). No rust anywhere else.

The owner has had it since 1992. When he titled it, it had 10K miles on it. He said the ticking in the engine has literally been there for the last 22yrs, the entire time he has owned it. None the less engine noises always concern me.

Thanks for the offer on the patch panels. I wont know how bad until I pull the windshield.

Decisions decisions!
