[DML] Re: Ignition key difficulty, rusty exhaust manifolds, trailing arm bolts, etc etc

Hey Matt:

I have car #1629, and started driving it as a daily driver in August of 2003.  Just for the record, my car came with (2) keys.  The ignition 
key is a long key with a square, black plastic end.  I can use this key for the ignition, the gas cap, and the storage compartment 
behind the driver's seat.  The door key has a large plastic end equipped with a light, and is large enough to put a small round battery 
in it. The metal shaft is smaller on this key than the ignition key.

I'm certain you will get some good advice from the list about the rust concerns.  I would say that I was told by a few people that 
getting the parts, workshop, and bulletins manuals would be a good idea before really tearing into the car.  I bought all three, and have 
found them quite helpful.  I also have the original Owner's Manual, that details jacking locations, etc.

#1629 has 3,400 original miles on it, and keeping it clean this winter.  I think this is half the battle in fighting off the rust.  And, I am 
mostly referring to the frame.

Good Luck.

Ramon
