Cinnamon 75 Duster \
Sept 2012
Begin trunk repair. Dropped the tank and cut away the rust. Once the bumper was off found the crossmember needed repair too. I replaced from the mount hole out (about 9 inches wide behind the spring box) on both sides. Did a few repairs to the leaf spring mount areas, but not bad considering the mess I removed above them. With that done I patched the area above them. I decided to leave the bottom of the trunk out till last to let the junk fall through. Easier to keep things clean while working. Weather was getting colder. Thought I was done for the year...
