Need Serious Help with Rust

[MikeEB]

Does anyone out there know anyone in the southwest Colorado region that can help me contain some major rust issues without breaking the bank. I need to replace both rockers, upper and lower quarters, and both rear light posts, along with some of the inner supports. My problem is I don't need this thing to be the most beautiful rig on the planet and all new sheet metal with a body shop doing the work and paint is going to run me 2.5-3k. I am without a doubt going to run this thing into a rock once or twice so I don't want to replace with brand new stuff anyway.

Does anyone know someone that can do this work for me cheaper or has a old body lying around that I can cut the entire section off and cut down the welding time? There is no salvaging these panels and I'd like to get something decent on so I can paint my rig.

THANKS, MikeEB

Buy or make some rock sliders to eliminate your rockers, then if you have a welder just buy new panels and weld them on your self. The new panels are pretty cheap and would probably be easier than messing with something sawzalled out of another bronco. You can pick up a mig welder to do body panels pretty cheap if you don't have a welder. Then once you have it repaired if you don't want to paint yourself then do a maaco or earl schweib job which would be fine for a trail rig. ;D

Also you could try this place for some used panels they usually have a decent selection of parts vehicles. http://www.broncoconnection.net/
