The cowl look as though someone walk on it in places So after pulling the wiper linkage out I had some access to use a small cut off from a 2x4 as a pivot point and a 1x1x16 to apply pressure upwards like a teeter totter on the underside of the cowl to get back up into shape.

The Next area I decided to tackle was The A Pillars, Cowl, and Roof to the Drip Rail. The Drip Rail Seam Sealer was Cracked up and missing in places So I dug it Out and re seam sealed the drip Rail.

This is where the door took part in the same hit that damaged the fender and the rocker. Someone drilled, pulled and puttied it it and left this yummy spaghetti for me.

My only Goal here is to get this Truck in better condition until I can afford to do it 100% right. My repairs my be a little embarrassing but not bad for a redneck.

I used a fiberglass type filler and began a long process for me to get this area looking like something better.

So I knew this area was hit in front of the rocker and behind the fender. This actually looks good from where I started. I pried this area out and reshaped it as close as My limited skill set allowed. I am No body man. I used some pics from yotatech to give me an idea what this area was supposed to look like as well as pulling the driver fender off. The drain hole you see now was mushed in and it was much uglier.

scored a decent driver door panel that was Tan on the bottom Half and rattle canned it with black vinyl paint. I've cut some bottom boards that need to be covered but for now I'm moving to the passenger side where the time consuming monster is..

The over spray on this Rig is ridiculous. This data plate will have to come off cleaned up and re-rivot. Next summer when I paint this side.

Brillo Pad to clean the mirror up and Stainless steel screws. I also Cut a 1/4 x 2 x 3 inch piece of aluminum flat bar and drilled two corresponding holes to back the door up where the mirror bolts are. I haven't yet pulled the mirror glass out or the ball stem out and epoxy painted yet. And I just noticed on the previous pics that those little specs you see everywhere are pollen dust.

Can't really see it but I primed and epoxy painted the Interior bottom half of the door then installed aluminum backed sound proofing, then sprayed the very bottom down with a lithium grease / cosomoline type protectant. Water gets past those drain window felts and winds up in the bottom of the door. Most drains out the drain holes but what is left dries on it's own. In Arizona it's not a problem but here on the East Coast it seems to rain every day.

New Handle and Lock going in. The Truck had One Toyota Lock with wore out seal and one Ford Lock and wore out seal. The Driver Door is in pretty good shape despite a lousy paint job. I'll remove all the new goodies and repaint it Next Summer Because I know I'm in for a time consuming disaster on the Passenger side.

Arrgh! more over spray... Despite the age of all the rubber it would have to be replaced anyway do to over spray on all of it.

Now onto that driver door. Every rubber on this Truck is getting Replaced. 32 years of Arizona heat takes it toll. Here the pile from one door along with a wore out driver regulator.
