Big milestone! Inner structure completed this weekend. Decided to not remove the driver side gutters after seeing how good the inner structure was behind the worst of the rusty gutters on the passenger side, except what i thought was the worst spot. Removed a section of gutter there to check for...

I've got a small block 350 with Holley Sniper EFI but i had the exact same issue going with mine and it was very sketchy. I had to adjust my secondary butterfly screws (bottom side of the flap) because the secondaries were getting stuck open. I also added a turn in the secondary return spring to...

Yeah, the rear windows were a breeze to take out, front windshield, not so much. I cracked mine taking it out. I'll have a professional install the windshield when the time comes.

Thanks, it's not so bad once you get started. Just scary at first drilling/cutting into a fairly nice roof.

I'll send the address, but it's not a very quick turnaround🤣

Chugging along slowly when I find the time. Inner structure from the front doors up is complete and rust free/primed. Couple small spots left on the passenger and drivers side and will do some body filler work around the windshield areas. New gutters are being made as well and started cutting...

I know! They all broke off just trying to slide the clamps back.

Sold my 100 that I dailyed when I got a company truck a few years back. Wife missed it so much we sold her GX and picked her up an 02 a couple weeks ago! 172k on the clock. Mechanically 9/10 and drives so good. Hardly a spec of rust on it but does have a few cosmetic deals we’re sorting...

Just dive in head first like me haha. I have no metal working, welding, body work or paint experience but figuring it out as i go. I read Hokies thread multiple times before deciding to do it myself and it’s been super helpful to reference. It's honestly been really fun, learning a s*** ton and...

PM'd you about the spoiler and tail lights. Thanks.

The driver side panel came with the car when I bought it. I got the passenger side from Wolf steel, came out to about $360 shipped. The shop said it fit fairly well and didn’t require much work to make it perfect. Body work and paint came out to about $4,500 but that includes fixing two spots on...

Started adressing the roof rust this weekend after finishing up some floor patches. I've read HokieLx's thread several times and I am very tempted to remove the whole roof skin. Theres not a spec of rust on the drivers side (at least on the roof skin), just on the passenger side and above the...

Started cutting out a couple small spots in the floor. Figured it’d be a good area to start patches/welding where no one will see it before I move to the roof. First time welding btw. Question: Do you guys think it’s necessary to also cutout the metal and replace on what I believe is the wheel...

Other side before and after.

Got a couple major updates going on. 1. Rear quarter panel rust no longer exists. Land Cruiser of Houston did phenomenal work removing all the rusty bits, reworking the inner fender metal and welding in new panels on both sides. Finished it up with fresh paint (rip decals for now). 2. Two rust...
