so, we started attacking the other side, pulled the wheel off, and come to find the shock tower had been sheared off at some point. so we pulled the beam out, which was the plan anyway, now to simple green, wire brush , and frame epoxy the whole thing and use brand new bolts and bushings all around. now onto pictures.
one patch in the floor pan fixed, not stock, but not rust as well
heater channel needs welding up
and just some terribly lit photos out side our garage
next big thing, bumpers are impossible to find, ESP early style bumpers, so we're making a brush guard style bumper and override bars from tube stock. more to come next weekLast edited by Dwob; 03-22-2013, 12:58 AM.

so some updates! took the passenger fender off, already knew there was a ton of rust, but it was a ton more extensive than i had previously thought.
anyway, so we got to cutting and welding, didnt feel like getting repair panels so we're just piecing it together with sheet metal, all will be smoothed out and sprayed with rust reformer then undercoating.
also, we are removing the gas fill neck and relocating it under the hood, which means we get to shave the gas door on the passenger fender
first chunk cut out and patched.
the extent of all the patch work done by someone a while back, screwed in tin with silicone surrounding it.
the rot cut out where the neck used to be
and it brings us to the progress we've made patching theis whole piece
thats a big hold in the middle we still need to fill. there will be two layers, inside and out.
thanks all for now. more updates in the next few days!
also....my best bud ricky's bug ros he's building in our garage too...ill post more of this too when he makes more progress
