I know I have tailights and doors, the fenders on the parts truck aren't worth your time IMO. Will see how much it might be to ship doors.

So I checked shipping rates.... UPS charges $120 to ship it up here, plus customs, but an estimate from purolator (I don't know if you can use purolator down there or not) quotes it at $50 haha.

Where and how much did you get that mesh tailgate?

oh my lights are separate from reverse also.

Hey I just fould out that if you have rusty parts that you wanna clean up.

5:1 ratio of water to molasses, submerge rusty peieces for two weeks and it cleans them up, not fast but doesn't damage the piece or paint.

Update:Did the body work I wanted to do this weekend, took a long time and now I'm tired as s@!t, but it's worth it!



Gunna hit it with some more flat black paint to hide where its been bondo'd (forgot to prime it beforehand..... )

Wow, I didn't know that. That would be a useful solution. I have a caustic tank and a hydrochloric acid tank at work though, does the job much faster.
