Well....lets see where this one goes.

Saved this one from a huge graveyard locally as it was in a light accident in the front and tweaked the front of the frame slightly and insurance wrote it off. Easy fix, minimal damage....Traded a bunch of left over parts and carcasses for it....good deal in my books.

Plan is to fix it up eventually for the wife (and me ) and just keep things simple on this one at this point.

Will be fixing obviously the rust on the rear quarters, very back ledge of the cargo area floor, inner/outer rockers, and of course doors. For this area this thing is in great shape. Just stripped out the interior to give it a good wash and let it dry out before going into storage for a short bit till the crew is done.

Pulled out the seats, panels, carpet, console etc tonight and discovered minimal to no rust on the floor area, and a bit across the back of the cargo/gate area. Pulled off the factory plastic on the floors and was near brand new steel underneath. Very happy!!!!

This won't be a speedy thread by any means....but will keep updated as progress continues.
