Pic are up the ones on the rust inthe rearwell and shock tower.DSC01610.jpg
Good luck with getting those bolts out to replace the shock. Soak them good with a decent rust penetrant for about a week. The bolts entend through the threaded portion about a half inch...soak them from that side. And take it slow and easy when you remove them.

edrach,

Is wd40 good or should I use something else?? and what about the rust should I cut it out and use sheetmetal? Most of the shock tower is gone to, should I try to rebuild the tower?:eek:

wd-40 is crap unless you are trying to dry stuff.

 

use PB Blaster or seafoam deep creek. both are great for what you will be needing. they can be found at just abou8t any auto parts store.

with my parts Brat i just got, its super clean in the shock support wheel wells, see my 82 Brat GL partout pics link. I am in Iowa so this could end up a easy project. The front and rockers on my BRAT are gone, but the bed, is super solid.
