So should I be crying, or thankful that it isn't as bad as it could be. Took the passanger side rocker off tonight, as I pulled it free a butt load of dirt came out. I immediately felt like somebody had kicked me in the nads! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon8.gif) However, when I looked at the long it did not seem to be too bad. There was some rust along the seam below the jack hole, and in a place I was not expecting it, there was some rust up front near the wheel well. Please let me know how depressed I should be!
Thanks! |

The front part needs to be opened up...there is some stuff in there.
The jack post (IMHO) needs to be removed. I would just cut it off with a grinding wheel, grind off the remaining welded on tabs, and clean the area behind it...it it probably full of garbage. The apply a new jack post. good luck, its really not that bad at all, fix it, close it up, clean the drain holes and paint everything... Then remove those rockers once or twice a year and wash that area and clean the drain holes. Rich |
