[Vwdiesel] Selling my Pickup!

[Harmon Seaver]

   When my Subaru rusted out around the towers, I built a little subframe out of
angle iron around the inside of the fenders to support the towers, it was pretty
simple and cheap and worked. I wouldn't worry about a spot of rust, we had two
subarus that rusted out pretty badly around the towers (big holes) before it
really became a problem. If the car isn't sagging yet on that side I'd keep
driving it.
