1984 Lebaron and Rust
Posted: Sun Jul 13, 2014 3:43 pm
Recently purchased a 1984 Lebaron Town and Country Mark Cross. Runs ok, body looks good.
Took to shop for a look over and was called and asked if I can come over to look at the underneath.
There was extensive rust all over, so much so, that the carpet padding was sticking out.
Was told the frame appeared to be ok.
I took the car to a friend who does mechanic work on the side, just sent me pictures and said the entire inside of the car is rusted.
What Advice do you all give ?
I really like the car, just has A/C repaired and put a new Weber Convervsion on. Again looking at it, it looks Good, actually very Good for a 30 year old car.
QUESTION
Since I want to keep the Car, How would you all suggest I proceed. How would you repair the floorboards ? Sheet Metal ? Fiberglass ? ? ?
Thanks
