Frscke1 found a donor van, showed the yard what he wanted, marked it, had the yard cut it. Rented a Box truck and brought it all to the Body shop. I generously received and got the 40 door, and rocker sheet metal from it for my G30. Thanks Prezz!
Good luck.

The more paint we remove, the more fiberglass we find. The roof has some holes along the drip rails. Largest one so far is the size of a quarter. Gonna use my old rust doors for sheet metal and just patch, patch, patch...

If the doors and engine have been removed from the donor van- cut across at the fuse box, saving the wiper/cowl section and all. That way you can take your part home and start drilling out the spot welds- carefully. You'll probably need some if not all of the windshield frame. Take the roof apart from the drip rail down with a spotweld drill bit. When you peel your rusted roof back, you will find more rust. Thats why you need to cut as much of the donor vehicle roof as possible. Hope that helps.
The Moral of The Story is, never pay up front for body work and paint. If they need money up front for paint materials, speed away. If they need money for parts- buy them yourself and have them shipped to the shop. | 1 member likes this:

I plan to bring it in the garage soonish to clean them out and address the rust, thenn use some self leveler to reseal it all up. If I am driving in the pouring rain and stop at a light, water just comes steadily dripping in at the visor mount holes and the center top of the Glass. I am sure there is some cgood rust in the windshield channel as well.. I will fix all that as time goes on, but want to get the roof sealed firsrt! Cant wait to see how your turns out. | | | Re: Yikes - Rust forming in gutter above windshield | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 559 | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 559 | Reseal the visor mount holes ...mine did that and this fixed the inside water fall ...Mine dumped a bucket full right in my Gson lap ...funniest thing Ive seen in a while

Stop by any local classic car/truck cruise night and ask around…..
