I don't know if you saw my '85 build thread... there were lots of obstacles to overcome on that project, namely, mouse nests everywhere, wiring was a mess, blown up A4LD, holes rusted through the gas tank, locked up brakes, engine mechanical issues... if that wasn't enough, I had to replace 1/3 of the floor in the cab. The rust was worse than any other vehicle I've had and it was just a HUGE project overall and it took a couple years but in the end I had a very solid, great running truck. Don't give up.
