    Dig it out is right! I wonder how long it sat there - must have been at least 10 years to get that deep. I bet the entire underside would have to be replaced.

    The pics show the floor, but you never know.
    Worst I've seen was a 65 98 with the oil pan sump rotted out!!

    With the tires sunk that low, that means the frame is in contact with the ground - which means moisture, which means rust. Anything you can't see is going be swiss cheese.

    Forget it for this winter - going to 0 this week - you'd need an air hammer!

    The last one I saw that was sitting in the dirt like that they tried to pick up with a fork lift and it broke into several pieces. Those Ford wagon frames rust bad under normal rust circumstances. You'd see those wagons with a swayback from the frame rusting out all over the place around here. My brother sold one for 50 bucks to a house painter and the frame let go the next day, the guy actually wanted his money back.:rofl:
    They should put the kitty that's walking around in the one pic into the car and let it have some fun.:)
