Yeah my car has some surface rust at the bottom of both doors, the paint on the hood peeled off (factory paint) but did not rust and its like bare metal,

but other than that my car is in pretty awesome shape,
and my Cat is gone too, iam currently in the process of changeing it, its just that i have never done one and iam scared to mess up my brand new pipes from the cat to the back of the car.

i circled in "yellow" exactly where the rust is starting to be a problem..
worse on the front then at the back..

Mine is right on the front bottom corner of the passenger door, the yellow line you drew were it just toucjes the door on the bottom is were in is. The other rust on it is at the bottom of the back fender on the passenger side, but is like the size of a pin head so it isnt noticable, I wanna get a new door skin this summer to fix that rust before it gets noticable.

I wonder if after the car is painted if a strip of vinyle would help there...like in the spot here that silver piece is on that car above? Like to stop it from chippin and stuffs...

i've prob'ly seen 6-7 88 on back 2 dr's around here, 1 85 convertible and 2 89-90 2dr's.

No offense but I don't really see the point in a 2 door car in a car like that...its ust always looked like 4 door to me. 3 doors are more like sports cars you know?

my last car was the 1986 deta 88 royale brouham with 2 doors, hard top (no vynyl), and the 3.8 v6... ive seen only 4 like that in my lifetime, and the rest are either the sedan or coupe with the cloth/vynl top.. anyone ever seen one like tht around?

Iam not sure but my cars emblems say "Cutlass CieraS",
i think that the "S" stands for "Sport" as in Cutlass Ciera Sport Edition.

Am i right?

If so than mine is classified as a Sport Car...LOL
