Yeah body work

Changing rear doorany tips on hanging this thing?i had to swap in a new hinge and repaint the mounting area so no match marks to go by this time. The truck has been painted by a po and it was a nice job but rust never sleeps. Areas that had minimal rust showing through paint revealed that. Small...

Having cut out every speck of rust and replacing it with new metal it’s down to rear doors. I have a door and have swapped the stock12v for the 24v wiper etc. Do I need to change glass, any difference between 24v-12v defrost? The glass is a pia to remove ohm readings are different.

Pulled bj70 into garage to swap mirrors. Clipped door frame. Tacoed pass door. Looks like a bus hit it. Started rust repairs at front fenders. Floor under pedals full of holes. Mice nesting in rocker. Discovered previous repair on wheel well interiors all crap also v nice welded patches on body...

This past weekend ventured a ways back into the Boreal Forest following mining trails and such just as we ferried out a couple of folks a leak was noticed coming from the bj70. Oil was pouring out laced with shiny metal filings, lots of them! The only notice was 10-20 seconds of whining when in...

How did it look when you checked the levels on trans n transfer case?no contamination? Po Of ours never washed the engine and the whole underside was coated with 25 yrs of oil. Was hard to trak down as oil was everywhere.

Welcome. Most of the time a good 80/90 is what you want. Did you find the leak?not out of a vent or pushing it into the trans. Is it?

Post up some pics when you take delivery. Lots of help on many forums. My son and I stumbled on the one he's driving. $5500 with 445 000km. He's put twice that into it plus prolly 100+free hrs of body work. What are the chances another one comes along there were only a couple hundred registered...

Big difference between no rust and no visible rust. P owners do strange things to hide rust. 1985 CDN no rust? Doubters. Check area around fuel filler pipe/ inside frame front of rear wheels/top of front fender wells. What about w shield frame and rear doors? Look at area behind mud flaps and...

I need to do the left side it's not as bad but is pretty rotted in places. The upper especially. Would be so much better to use 1 piece. Where can I get panels?
