    Got a base model 2nd gen not too long ago and there's tons of rust pretty much everywhere (shocker).

    I've also noticed warping toward the front of the rear wheels, rust behind the section of frame behind the rear wheels, and sections of the boxed portion of frame rotted through.


    Any advice for types of steel and how the process would go for repairing the frame? Diagram with measurements would help tons though I fear it might be too late, my hopes are to keep this lovely pos out of a junkyard.

    They’ve already figured out all the fabrication work, and it’s cheaper than a replacement frame
    If you could do the fabrication work from scratch, you wouldn’t be asking here

    posts pics, everybody loves rust
