With the wheels removed and sold, the horror show was revealed. Even with the low mileage, the years of salty wet Wisconsin roads took their tool on basically everything metal under the car. I expected there to be rust, but not nearly as bad as this. Copart didn't mention anything about it, nor did they take any pictures of the underside of the vehicle. I guess that is the risk you take when you bid on a donor site-unseen. The hydraulic jack handle made for a great pry bar for the really stubborn ones. Twisted a few bolts off in the process but no amount of penetrating fluid was helping us. I also didn't have my air compressor up and running yet so this was all done by hand up to this point. Let's not even talk about that long bolt that goes through the rear knuckle and the trailing arms. F*** that bolt.
