Body mounts(LMC question)
Well, I'm trying to bring my newly acquired 84 back to life. Upon inspection of the vehicle that has actually been resting since June 2001, I've noted a few holes in the "bed". I would like to patch these shut. Additionally, I noted at least one mounting point on the body to frame that has rust around it, as well as a drain hole. Rusted enough that I poked a hole through it with my knife.
Tips, tricks or suggestions to get around this and make it work? I was considering a steel plate and a square tube welded over the rusty location to reinforce it, then cover it with some sort of sealant to prevent further destruction.
Thanks
