I'm just testing the waters to decide what to do. I'm still parting out an 88 4R. When that's done, I plan to cut up the what's left of the body and sell it for scrap steel. But I would really like to see the frame go to someone doing a restoration of their rig or perhaps use it for a buggy build.

I know that frame rust outs are a common problem for the 4Rs -- especially up north with the salt. So I would like to know if anyone would want a frame and be willing to come get it. It's in the San Antonio, Texas area.

 

might be...I am in Austin.

 

how are the rear wheel wells if they are ok maybe you could cut them out for me I would send a pic of how much I need.

 

I think the wheel wells are actually in decent shape. The quarter panel around the wheel well is damaged.

I'm not sure how I would ship them though.

 

if you have a pic of both sides of the truck I can high light the area to cut out I don't need much but it would be easier to weld in that then try to make it from scratch

 

Don't be fooled by the shiny paint. The PO got a MAACO special and painted over some damage. I don't think the panels are rusted. But there are holes visible on the backside left from a slide hammer with bondo squirting thru.

 

I would like both sides complete but I get the feeling that shipping will kill me.

if you don't want to mess with cutting out the body panels I will take no offense to you not wanting to do it if you where closer I would buy the whole body.

 

I don't have the shears needed to cut that out neatly. And I think the shipping on something that large would be a killer. If you're taking a piece that large, you might be better off just doing the entire quarter panel.

The body is actually in good shape except for some bondo. I was looking around in the nooks and crannies and there is very little rust in the body except around the windshield.

 

do you have the ignition wire harness? if so how much? shipping zip is 32566

thanks
