project: save the toyota!

So after having my 90 toyota 4x4 pickup for a while I have decided hat its time to fix the frame rust. Everything on the passenger side from the back of the cab is really rotted, to the point of the front leaf srping mount has broke off and I can't put a shock on that side.

So I picked up a rear section from about mid cab back. I got it in the garage today and started pluging away. I've got most of the old surface rust cleaned off, andcut out the round crossmember that was rusted pretty bad.

This is a 7 day project that has to be done by Sunday night. Tomorow I will get the rest of the rust cleand up and crossmember welded in, so I can POR15 the whole thing wensday.

 

I will post pics as soon as I can get near a real computer, seeming how my phone will not upload pics. Thank you for reading and have a good evening.

Yes. I have a few cans of permitex rust repair, which is suposed to turn the rust into primer. then I want to spray it with some stuff I got from napa that is either por15 or has it in it. After that I want to spray the piss out of it with undercoating.

I've never done anything like this on this scale so I'm just repairing it how I think it should be done.

They sell it in small sizes and it covers very well. $20-30 would do the whole frame

 

That's not bad. Maybe once I get everything together frame wise ill get some and cover the wole underside of the truck.

 

anyone have a set of 3" or4" lift blocks and ubolts laying around they wanna sell? If I'm gonna lift it now would be the best time.

if you want to do the whole bottom of the truck I can loan you a spray gun with a big tip that will spray it well. Just cover up because the shit stays on skin along time....ask me how I know :(

 

Haha how do you know? I guess if it don't come off skin it don't come off the bottom of your truck lol.

Well, I didn't get to do anything on it last night, but I did pick up some steel from mjrsplat( very cool guy btw). So as soon as I get off work at 1 ill be going straight over and start welding the patches in. Its probably gonna be a late night hustle. It needs to be painted tonight!
