I recently bought a 96 2 door to replace a 2000 that got crushed by a falling tree. I knew it has floor rust when I got it. No biggie since I repaired floor rust in the 2000. What I didn't know was the A and B pillars, drip rail, and windshield frame also have rust with spray foam put in to "waterproof" it. There is also spray foam where the quarter panel was fixed behind the B pillar.
I had planned on buying a welder for the floor pans and some other projects so I'm open to cutting/welding. I've seen a couple threads where the whole roof is replaced but finding a usable 2 door roof will be a challenge. Or pull whatever usable parts and find a different body to use.
I'm not sure where to go with it and looking for thoughts or ideas. If anyone has links to good roof/pillar replacement writeup threads or videos that would be appreciated.
