Rust, Rust, Rust Everywhere! (10/74 Fj40)<--REAL POST
Ok. I bought my 10/74 and it is just FUBAR with the amount of rust I have been finding. My question is since it has become enough to comprimise the floor integrity of the rear of the tub what would you do(as per the poll options above):
1. Reinforce and repair as nessecary
2. Buy the new 1.1Guage tubs that are found in the vendor section
3. reinforce, paint, forget
4. NOTHING...absolutely nothing!
it is a DD for now and normally only has me in it. I have a seat mounted as such:
for now so that I can fit my son's car-seat. I would like to go to a floor mount and will reinforce that area as a TEMP FIX ONLY for now when I find the right seat(the one pictured wouldnt fit down and in)
My major question is when i get the money saved for a Frame Off should I consider finding front fenders and a tub that are in good condition or should i really consider new? will post more pics of rust sometime tomorrow.
UPDATE: PLEASE POST WHY YOU VOTED FOR WHAT YOU DID!
