Yes, I think it is. My car was very well kept over its life, but still had melted fuses.

Today I drove it to work. One last trip before the major surgery this weekend. Tonight I pulled the lower engine cover, rear fascia, stiffener, impact absorber, muffler and heat shields. Cleaned and shined all the muffler hardware - still shiny perfect yellow zinc under the inch thick blackness!

Tomorrow I will pull the T-panel, headliners and drive axles, then keep cleaning things until the engine removal brigade arrives Saturday morning....
