Bottom line is I know Bus Depot and others sell new sheet metal, but I'm wondering if I'll haveenough good metal to have a shop weld the new stuff to? I could p-mail some pix to an educated pair of eyes. The Syncro as it stands is probably worth more in parts than it is running right now, but I don't want to destroy a useable Syncro if it can be salvage. It's purpose in life would be to be my winter vehicle saving the 90 GL from any further salt exposure. Thanks DM&FS >. > >__,_._,___
