Hey everyone, I'm going to check out another Viper tomorrow. This car comes from Hawaii and now lives in Nevada. I guess my question is does any of you guys that are Lucky enough to live at the beach see this rust problem on the nuts and bolts? and is it a problem??
Thanks.

I live in Miami. I had the same problem (previous owner lived on the beach). Not a problem, I just replaced the bolts...problem solved!

It wouldn't be a problem if the car was held together by only a dozen bolts, but there is a h3ll of alot more than that.

 

[2000GTS]

On my car, only a handfull of bolts were affected. The rest were fine.

Why is the front fascia off the car in the one picture?

I can't figure out what that picture is, it seems to have stripes under the car also?

I hope these are the right pictures.

my guess is that it has more to do with the salt/sea air

No, the picture showing the coolant overflow bottle, see the tire and wheel, behind and to the left? See the attachment ponts for the front fascia, why was it taken off. I can't think of any reason excet a front end hit, OR replacing the coolant bottle which ususally needs it even from a small hit.

Those are not my pictures, I only have the front end showing. I don't know where the others came from? The car I'm showing is a ACR you can see the wheels there not ACR.
