Ok, I'll start a thread and post as I go this winter.

Today I got it up on stands and pulled the rockers.

Long look OK. I knew the drivers jack plate was toast.

Take a look at these pictures and let me know if this will be worse to fix than I think....

Here is worst jack plate

doesn't look too bad on the pics
did you poke at it with a screwdriver? Is it still solid, or can you poke through it?
get a wirebrush drillbit and clean it up, before you start cutting...

'LOOKS' pretty damn good!

The one that says passenger side looks like the driver's side to me.

that doesn't look bad at all. If it was like mine, the outside "cup" was soft but solid behind it...got a replacement piece from restoration design and had it installed...good as new!

Yes, I bought a Jack plate and tube from Brad M. (914ltd) knowing the drivers side was not good. I am hoping to have good metal under it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

Are these spot welded on too?

Not a bad day one if I do say so.

Not a bad day 1 at all, that looks pretty easy to fix in my opinion. I have seen worse cars out here in Calirfornia where they say the cars dont rust out. You could fix that over a weekend if you had the parts. Good luck with it.

I would be more worried about the bottom of the drivers side door...

Pretty easy fix. Looks like a good solid tub to me. Floorpans appear to be solid.

Well, just finished pulling front and rear bumpers and valances. done for tonight.

I'll start on front suspension first. Drop stearing rack cover, pull fuel pump, drain last 3-5 gallons of gas. Pull tank. Clean off loose rust, por 15, re-paint blue. clean tap all holes. then....


Install front swaybar, new bushings, new ball joints, front shocks and maybe turbo tie rods . That will get me into early December. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I wish I could do this for living, way more fun than working for Motorola. Its' good to have things to fall back on in this economy.

Looks like a nice tub to me. A nice steady pace will get you there.

Will, this scares me. You're not getting much surface area contact. That thing looks like it will spin real easily. I haven't tried this, but if you drilled a 2" hole, or 2 1" holes to match the contour of your jackstands it may get a bit more bit and not move. Sorry to but in, but I want to see you again at next year's FFC or MWC. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
