i think you can probably see where this is leading!!!!!!!!!!

there was some surface rust on the firewall around the master cylinder and our 6 monthly inspection(warrent of fitness) is quite strict about this plus the battery box was rusty and underneath it on the inner guard was rusty and this was within 4 inches of a body mount (radiator support mount)-- another w.o.f no no, sooooooooooo I PULLED THE WHOLE TRUCK APART.
to be fair to myself i wanted to tidy up the paint and replace some worn parts eventually so this was a good excuse but as you can imagine my wife was not a happy camper. as you can see in some of the photos i already had alot on my plate with her model a pickup nearly on the road and our family oldsmobile getting a radiator replacement.the other main problem was no 2 daughter runs her business out of rooms next to my garage. shes a beauty therapist and her clients park outside her clinic and i had sort of promised to keep my car mess to a minimum.will only be a week or so!!!!!!!!!!
