Here is the start of my new front body mounts. Because of the pie cut to the frame head they no longer line up, so this extends it. I will drill out a new hole and then weld it to the lower existing mount.
Here you can see the cut off mount and how it didn't line up with the beam any more

Rear apron fixing

Rear end rust repair
Here is the new panel tacked into place, it fits pretty good for being an after market repo.

Rear apron removed. It was in pretty rough shape, things were not done well last time it was "fixed"

Side view of new panel

Bondo BAD. Well this much is bad.

Old bumper mount cut out
