bought new in 1985. It's been in storage for the last two years.

has got a little rust at bottom in front of rear driver's side wheel.

I am currently trying to shape a piece of metal to fit the hole that I've

cut to eliminate the rust, since I have had no luck finding anyone who makes

patch panels. I will then learn how to weld the thing in place.

I don' suppose there is anyone with any better ideas on how to take care of this

problem? I don't want to use fibre glass or bondo.

Anyway, I really love the car. It's been just perfect the entire time I've owned it. I parked it in the garage two years ago as a preservation measure,

since my wife was putting about 90 miles a day on it. when I parked it I neglected to perform any kind of storage preparation on it, but after two

years of letting it sit, I put a new battery in it, added about half a tank of

gas to dilute the effect of the old gas, and added some fuel conditioner.

She fired right up, and runs quiter than my '93 toy pick-up. She's smoking

though, but each time I fire her up, she smokes less.

One last question. Is it proper to refer to a Mister Two as a 'her'?
