Default This doesn't look good

I just started my attempts to remove the body and so far things aren't going well. The body mounts are ruined. I have pictures below. The actual mount on the from for the #4 bushing is rusted and is going to need replaing and I have a feeling the same will be necessary on the other side. Lots of rust inside and out on these two mounts and I'm not sure what's going on. It looks like someone has been at them at some time or other. I also sheared off the bolt on the passenger side. So what next....

To post a pic you have to put your jpg info in between the two IMG tags and it cannot be on your PC but must be hosted on a website that allows remote linking. Cardomain.com is one that works well.

Sorry to hear about your mount troubles.

Best Regards, Brent...

Mine were in bad shape as well but still fixable.

I figured that out after I had made the post. I'm still trying to get the pictures posted. Didn't realize it was going to be such a job. Thanks for the help though. Hopefully I will have the pictures of the mess under the car up in a few days.
