I hate rust!!!!!!!

well I did a bit more digging under the carpet and found some rust spots. Luckily its not that bad but needs to be addressed quickly.



passenger side after some poking around with a screw driver, i found sum tiny holes which turned out to be much bigger than i thought.....so out came the blind plugs and its time to get that fixed



driver side has some rust bubbles where the floor meets the sill and it also has a pin hole at the accelerator pivot point. nothing major!!!!

that probs looks great with the black. Are you planning on painting everything black again?

hey bro, my plan is to get all other parts brand new. i have to get my fender, radiator support, hood joint since the previous one i think is a bit messed up. after that is a few spots i have to take care of on the floor, windshield area and trunk. So as i'm at it i'm strongly considering a colour change to Sepang bronze metallic. i think that would look awesome

SO sorry guys, this thread is a bit slow being that i was busy with school, exams and then it lead into the holidays of christmas. The good news is that in that time frame my parts did arrive from new york and is waiting at the shipping company to be picked up. will deal with that during this week

clean roof

well nothing much has been happening since i'm still busy with school and sum side jobs. However yesterday i was able to drop the entire headliner and remove the rear shelf to have those things change to a darker colour.

Well nothing much has been going on lately, since i've been busy with school and other stuff. I started stripping the interior to see how well the floor boards are and its in pretty gd condition. i will be coating back the interior......any ideas on whats best to use for such an application?

That sucks dude but it was nothing like mine. Just be happy it wasn't worse. I hope you are ok too.

yup i'm so glad everyone walked away from this without a scratch. it could have been worst. i'm ok yeah. just waiting patiently to get my hands on the parts i already located in new york

yup it really does suck.....gd news is that i pulled off bumper today, headlights and a few other things that were damage and luckily its nothing too bad. obviously the right rad support where it meets the actual chassis was bent in and downwards. The rad support will be taken off completely and straighten or i might just order a new one from the dealer. The point where the fender bolts onto the chassis is where most of the metal work and straighten has to be done. So far i have a source in new york thats getting up a fender, two smiley headlights, bonnet and a bumper. so hopefully in a few weeks time i have those .... ;D
