Well let's move on....thanks for the words Dale. I don't think you did anything intentionally and don't hold anything over you. I took the DI to a body guy today to get a quote on having the bed cut out and weld in another. I also have a 4 x 3"3' sheet of aluminum that he is looking at to...

Hey the thread even got Lance to pause from the farm-how is going bud?

You could pull that most likely non working clock for a spot and then you have the ash tray-cubby spots for a few others. A small panel where the POS cup tray slides out would be pretty nice. Get the DII cupholders and put them on the console if you want a cup holder that actualy holds...

Thanks for the suggestion, anything to prevent further rust is very appreciated!

I just want to point out that I see many new faces that have signed up for this forum just for this report. That is some inspiration Frederik!

Now that sounds like fun! Safe travels and God speed!

That's what I was hoping Dendy, untill I wire wheeled it. More photos attached. I just checked the scrap aluminum sheet I have-it's 4x3"3' which should be just about right. Any ideas on a barrier material to put between the Al and the Steel? Should I use some type of rubber or something like a...

We do have inspecitions but I think a 94 is exempt-I will check to be sure before I install the 19# injectors. I am also going to pull the front carpets and pads-just ran out of time this weekend. What did you use to get the front seats out-I found that the bolt under the clamp was blocked just...

That's a bit strong don't you think? From underneath you could not see any evidence of the rust-you had to take up the pad covering the cargo floor. From what I've seen I would think the majority of the DI's have this-the pad material just holds any moisture and lets it sit until rust forms-poor...

Take it camping/off roading for the weekend-they get grouchy from too much tarmac.

Thanks for the links-bolting a section of flat aluminum is looking like it might work better than I though-better than factory even. I'll need to add some sort of layer or seal between the floor and the sides and see if the support bars are in tact or not but it's an option that I could do...

Wow looks nice and is already built! Sooner than later pull up the carpets and pads and look for rust especially in the cargo area.

That's an understatement Dendy! Nice collection. I want my DI the have a similar build but I've got a long way to go.

I'm going to check into getting a new floor welded in-it's pretty ugly. I wish I could weld and want to learn but this would be way beyond a beginer.

Pulled out the carpet and pad in back today and guess what I found???yep rust. It is along the edge of the cargo floor except along the forward edge and gets worse as you go back. Along the rear edge is is not bad but as the sides go forward it's through the steel and is so about 1/2 way up...

Thanks TeriAnn-that is good to hear for when I'm finished with the DI. I really can't complain too much about the brakes on the IIa-just adapt my driving style and it's fine. The OD is an item I am saving up for.

Axles with disc's that are very close to a series huh....hey Fiat, could we just get the Axles???

I'm not a fan of new car depreciation and haven't bought a new one in a while.

They won't bring it here-the cost of getting it OK'd buy the DOT would not be justified by the limited (but greatful) market, last I checked very few of us buy new cars anyway. I wonder if the while front is different or just the hood/facia? It looks like the hood is much wider than on the LR...

Thank you for the adventure!
