The Frame Rust problem

It became almost impossible to shift into reverse and it would pop out of gear unexpectedly while going down the road.   Read details...

The Body problem

Complete corrosion through the frame just behind the rear upper and lower trailing arms mount locations. Two large holes approximately 1" in diameter.
