Very nice burb you saved and nice rust repair work! On the 4x4 swap, did the 2wd e brake cable mounts interfere with your shackle mount positions?

More rust repair work done. Driver's side rocker panel. Luckily the inner rocker didnt need anything other than a good sandblasting, and a few pinholes welded up. Front and rear of new rocker needed some massaging to fit; but overall an easy job.

Front part of left quarter panel repaired. Had to weld a patch for inner quarter. I'm really amazed at how much dirt gets packed up inside these rockers and quarter panels. Not sure how it makes it's way inside, but it sure gets in there.

Rocker is looking good. My Panel Truck is starting to rust in front of the rear wheel wells and has some dirt, mud, and other junk packed in there. I'm not sure how it gets in there either but I need to get it cleaned out. LockDoc |

Decided to redo the right side front rocker panel. Making a truck rocker fit a burb took some cutting and fabbing around the B pillar area. But its done; and doesnt look all that bad. In hindsight, I think it would be easier to cut the truck rocker vertically just forward of the 'burb specific B pillar area, and weld a vertical seam down the rocker...

Was lucky that the B pillar was solid; with just a little surface rust. A pass with the sandblaster cleaned it all up nicely.
