These are not like cars... The bodies can rust away while the chassis & mechanicals can remain in pretty good shape. Sometimes you see severe chassis rust on the agricultural models that have been used in salty environments, but as a general rule the military models (like this one) just have body & sheet metal rust from sitting in a damp military depot for 30 years. The mechanical parts are more than likely fine. Trust me on this, I have seen a *lot* of unimogs up close and body rust was never an indicator of mechanical condition... As far as sheet metal goes, these are a very forgiving vehicle to learn bodywork on. The military cabs are all hand-made to begin with, all the panels are available and relatively easy to fit with simple body tools, it is all sheet metal over a square tube frame. -Zach _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
