It's a doo-hickie

Invest in the welder, plenty of youtube on how to use it well. Body work is expensive and no guarantee it was done right. Plus a welder can be used for so much more.

I'd start with removing the paint around the crack to see how much is crack and how much is rust. My guess is rust then I would grind that crack until you have clean metal, shape another piece of metal same thickness as the hole you created and tack weld it shut being careful not to overheat it...

Pictures are cheap and would make the post so much better :)

What size tires/rims do you got there?

I had a similar problem with shutting off and being able to restart, ended up the clamp to the fuel line connecting to the IP broke and it was getting a little air. I put 2 clamps on it cause I had to pull the intake to see it and no problems since.

Care to share the part number from LMC?

Did you get anything from LMC? I searched their website but no parts listing for those mud shields. I have half of one (pictured) and the other is missing.

Pictures are nice :)

Welded up the power steering bracket that broke, also finally found where that square hole was that is used to move the bracket when tightening the belt.

I replaced my batteries and got ones small enough so both can fit on the rear battery tray. Just have to modify the holder a little bit to be able to use it. Starts so much faster then it ever did!

Previous owner painted it, he used a stencil (= PITA). I just hope I never get in an accident and have to try an match the paint Doh!:shock: But yeah it is pretty unique, most peeps think it is a wrap when I drive around town.

Replaced old lights, sockets and lens's (big diff between old faded ones and new). Replaced the power steering hoses as I found they were leaking. Plus found that the steering gearbox bolts were loose so I tightened them as well.

Yes it is two bolts brazed to it, my memory is going. I remember it had something goofy bolted to it. I wasn't sure of the purpose and it was in the way so I removed it.

Cut and modified my dashpad as it was covering my gauges up, I have to have the dashpad as it covers the huge crack in the dash. I un-stitched the hem and sewed it back on with a sewing machine, I'm no tailor and it does not look like factory stitching but it's good enough most wont notice...

Got the rear view camera working [thumbzup] Now I won't run over any more of those pesky kids.

You sir are correct, all LED except the Gen lights. :mrgreen:

LOL, I really like that stereo, it has memory tilt so when powered it tilts up toward the driver making it easier to see. It'll make backing up a whole lot easier once I hook up the camera.

Stereo install, sound deadener with vinyl carpet. Just have to connect the backup camera now :D

Thx, yeah I may still put another gauge in. Would be helpful to give an idea of a filter change. I copied everything from previous posts though. Copied a little too close though as the one I copied used a different housing and I did not pay attention to the fuel flow directions. So when I...
