sounds like the common rust problems on gbodys in the north east. good news is that you dont have an oddball year like 78-80 so they make all the body panels and what not for it.just try not to dump too much money into a money pit. its probably cheaper to look for a same year old lady owned v6 body thats rust free all over and swapping your ss stuff to that. including the vin even though thats not exactly legal and probably looked down upon.

IF i had the money to fix all the body parts beleive me i would but im going to fix wat i can for now to make it driveable with out worrying bout falling threw the floor haha. just pulled the trany. got another turbo200 from a local junkyard. also found out today i need a new flex plate. missing a few teeth haha

Is it? i was told its a turbo 200.. yes its over drive.. and the new trans i got is over drive.. they had a 3 speed also.

the 3 speed th200 came in non ss monte carlo's and has METRIC on the trans pan , the pan is kinda square and the 200r4 is the 4spd auto that came in the ss's the pan is kind of funny looking,

....um weird.. my 4 speed trans that came in the car says metric on the pan.. same with the new 4 speed i just got....both say metric on it.. an yes the car is a REAL ss
#20
could say metric on it never seen one myself, but your pan should look like #5
also wen't and looked went and confimed 85+ ss only came with the th2004r (my bad was thinking of it was put as 200r4 not 2004r)
