just get a new hood....probably easier
I was checking up my oil thickness when I noticed lots rust forming underneath the hood when lifted.
Is there a way for saving my hood? Or should I visit the chop shop for a new hood.
Thanks for any info.

"Why fart and waste it when you can burp and taste it!"
If hoods are expensive where you are and the hood only has surface rust, consider Bill Hirsch Miracle paint (http://www.hirschauto.com/products.asp?dept=3) or POR 15 (http://www.por15.com/POR-15-Rust-Pre...nt/products/1/). These are rust conversion paints. They tend to be expensive ($20+ per pint) and have to be top coated as they are sensitive to UV light. I have used them for years and they work well to seal and stop rust.
If you can't find a reasonablely priced hood I have one off a grey 1995 ES I am parting out that is clean and straight. Shipping would be a problem depending where you are located. I am in Helena MT. If you are within driving distance I'll make you a good deal on it. PM m if interested.

Thanks for the miracle paint recommendation, I'll try to look of what is being offered here on my locale.If hoods are expensive where you are and the hood only has surface rust, consider Bill Hirsch Miracle paint (http://www.hirschauto.com/products.asp?dept=3) or POR 15 (http://www.por15.com/POR-15-Rust-Pre...nt/products/1/).

I would love your hood but problem is I'm short before the holidays as Xmas bonuses are still far-off and shipping I can't afford right now as I am in the Pacific islands.
For them chop shop, I'll try to barter instead of what goods I can trade in for a hood.
