What do guys think the best way to tackle the rust on the car is? I don't like it in all these cracks and I am scared it will get worse and destroy it. I did not ask for detailed pictures like an idiot - but overall it seems in good shape. Suggestions on tackling the rust in the nooks and crannies?
I need to get the car to pass inspection at this point. It looks like someone has been trying to fix the horn for a bit. There is an aftermarket horn in the trunk and one mounted under the hood. I tested the horn, it works fine. However, I cannot seem to get it to work...and I need a horn for inspection.
1. I have searched the forums and the net for help. I did take the horn ring off and clean all the contacts. I do see the yellow wire and ground wire and they look like they are connected. No horn. The relay looks old and crummy, ordered a new one. However, I get the feeling this will not fix it. I followed from the relay up to cowl but do not see where the horn cable goes in. Any ideas?
2. Can you guys think of anything I can do to rig up a horn to work? It just has to work for the inspection. Here is the deal - I do not plan on driving the car until the transmission and shift level are sorted - then I need to look everything over. But I need to get the car out of the dude's name and I can only get two titles - project car (you cannot drive it over, you have to tow it so they can verify the vin(will cost me 100 bucks) or a regular title. I really don't want to get a salvage title. Out of state inspection consists of, stop lights working, turn signals, headlights, and horn - they sheriff makes you show all those things, you pay 10 bucks and you are done. Everything is working but the horn.
Thanks!
