It sounds like you need to go out and try a ton of cars without any real
thought to buying one. Then after you've ridden in 20 or 30 then check out your
notes and buy one from that...

While replacing a headlight wiring harness I found something I thought my 91

I suspect the fender and headlight unit was replaced but

It's a non-visible panel (from the outside of the car), right?
If so, get a wire brush on a drill and remove all of the old paint and

I'd only add a patch panel if there is so much rust that it might
