85. Taking care of rust... hopefully

Well, good thing is, that this body isn't a complete rust bucket, like my previous ones...

The small rust holes were point-welded, then protected with some Hammerite anti-rust paint, seams were filled with Car System filler (the one that looks OEM, rubbery type), and then painted with some primer. It's coming along nicely, and it'll be ready for final coat of paint in a couple of days. I just have to take care of all them wires. ;)
P.S. The trunk is almost ready. It needs just one more coat of white paint :) Yey!

Here are some pictures.
(I'll try to dig up some 'before' photos later...)

I know. It's not pretty. But, it's strong. :)

This is the anti-rust Hammerite paint that I use: (Great stuff, BTW)

30. Rust bucket

It's been a while since I've wrote about my project... Here's some latest news...

I've managed to pull the passenger seat out. It wasn't easy, but, nice big sledge hammer did the trick. Then, I removed the dashboard, heater assembly and the carpet. And, OMG! What a suprise... It looks like I'll have to start welding... So, here are a couple of photos:



Sunroof: It really looks heavy. I have to figure out what to use to fill the hole...

This is how the interior looks without the dashboadr. I gues, I won't be putting it back in...

And this is the suprise I was talking about... Man, it looks ugly!

And, here's another hole. Heh... :) Air condition :)
