Front

I think Benjamin Moore should use this as a testimonial for their product. Great transformation!!

Here's what the floor looks like with the patches installed! To patch the floor I have used a piece of my old yellow bug, a microwave oven, a Dell computer, an audio box and a piece of metal from Manny. It's like a quilt all melded together with rivets and welded.











Here's after a coat of Por 15

After the floor I pulled all the carpet out and the luggage area out because the stunk. Under the luggage area it had a lot of surface rust which I scrapped as best I could and covered it with Por 15.

Progress! Keep at it!

The magic of paint!!

I heard that if you tap a screw into the lid of POR15 to pour out the paint it prevents the lid from getting sealed shut. Well I tried it on a new can and it doesn't work. The lid of the can is so soft that the screw doesn't descend around the threads but just creates a hole as wide as the screw and if you tip the can over the paint escapes. Even tried different size screws, hole just kept getting bigger.

wow KEN! you have been busy my friend. Looks great!

Thanks Raj!! It looks ok from a distance, but the heater channels are still shot. hopefully this will keep some of the water out. I'm going to lay down some sound proofing and a cheap carpeting material from HD to cut down on some of the road noise and then that will be it. I used roofing tar all alnog the bottom to fill in the gaps between the metal and it doesn't look half bad either.

I still need a windshield and some door seals as well!

Last night i had a few minutes so i glued some 1/4 inch sound proofing/insulating wrap into the luggage compartment. I used #m Spray adhesive and so far it looks to be holding ok. Once of cover the car I'll cut some outdoor carpet to cover things up.
