I had a few body mounts that were severely corroded. My plan to repair them was to just weld some 1-1/2" washers in position. But then I started looking over some parts I had cut from the broken blazer frame I scrapped out, and all of the mounts on those pieces were good. I just have to cut off the rivets and replace them with ones I already have. The cross member in front of the rear axle was also getting thin from rust and I have that part also. So lots of grinding to do later. I just need to buy a few good bolts.
One of the replacement mounts is off and ready to use.
I do have to weld repair the frame rails at the rear bumper though. That's really bad. I think I have enough pieces of frame rail around to use for patches though. Even if I cut it off like the 69-71 style frame, it would need repaired because the area where the rear most body mount goes is almost completely gone on the pass side and super thin on the driver side.
New bushings...
I'm going to try this paint out, see if I like it...
This brings my total spent up to $993.
