The vehicle suffered flooding early in storage.

Although the interior is bone dry, it is obvious that water entered the passenger compartment on the vehicle's port side toward the front.

This is corroborated by the atypical rust patterns under the hood. The exhaust camera is coated with an ultralight coating of rust, but other bolts are well coated in deep particulate rust. Noxon (oil free metal polish) removes this rust.

Underbelly metal is whole.
