So I've got an 84 Ranger 4x4 that has what I THINK is not that uncommon a problem. It has rusted through the firewall from inside the cowl and now when it rains, water poors in and is rusting out my floorpans.
I confirmed by taking dash apart and can see the rust and push a screwdriver through the holes. I want to get at this and grind the rust off and weld it up but it looks like I should do this from the cowl side? Is that the best way to tackle this?
I appears I need to take the front fenders off before I can get to the cowling to take it off to weld up the holes? Is this correct?
I really like this ranger even though its old and turning into swiss chesse. but I am at a crossroads here cause while I know how to weld, I have no idea how to get in there to get at this rust.
Please advise!
