Seats all redone and pretty arrived monday night.
Final ratmat sound deadener kit arrived on friday morning.
Autodec carpet kit with underlay arrived friday morning.
Dan has said in 7 weeks he will do the wiring, and gave me the all clear to fit my dash, which means i can do all my windows!
already purchased most window rubbers about 9 months ago so im set there.
Go outside after work today and start tidying the interior so i can fit all my new goodies so full of motorvation and really keen to be making a bit of progress on this thing.........only to find by the accelerator pedal............. one massive buzzkill.
The bad:
FUCKING RUST. (worse than the regular kind)
It had been bogged over both inside AND outside the holes and painted over, so hence why i missed it when tearing the thing to pieces and bare metalling it. dedicated warrant attempt i assume.
I have cut out some ratmat (fuck what a job)that shit is sticky and determined.
Panicked and ripped up the other side as well to see if that seam had any hidden hatred left. it did. better to find it i guess.
Its not bad fortunatly, but is very frustrating considering the amount of work me (mostly others) have put in to this project, it kinda sucks. now i will tell anybody to sand/sodablast a bare shell.
pictures of the small but annoying rust holes.
gotta say though, wal is a proper gentleman. i rang him as soon as i found all this and he will be popping over monday evening to sort it all out for me. lifesaver! need to have shell enclosed for towing purposes.... dont want to loose a screen
only delays me a few days which is okay. interior completed this year was actually a realistic goal!
on a side note, anyone here do fuel lines? will be using the factory line as the return, just need another feed line run. thanks!
RUST SORTED , so finish the sound deadner.
I was rather scared watching flames underneath and smoke out the windows.....thanks again Wal
