My mini major milestone, I sat in my car for the first time Options

[Wes V]

I just had to toot my horn due to feeling good about the car!

I bought the car on January 16, 2008 and the prior owner had cut out a major portion of the floor due to rust. He planned on doing the repair work himself, but changed his mind.

There has been a lot of stuff that I've had to do to it before getting to the point of welding in the floor (along with putting on steel flares).

But, now the floor is tack welded in and it's the first time that I've been able to sit in it!!!

Of course, I had to shoot the obligatory photo where I'm pretending to drive the thing.

I'm even working the imaginary shifter. (which doesn't make a lot of sense due to having no pedals)

C'mon, admit it, you know you did. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Good work!

You know it! The only bad thing was the sound when I missed the shift.


PanelBilly; If you are asking about the seams; I use 3M "Heavy Drip-Check Sealer". If you are talking about the metal surface, I use PPG "DP" epoxy sealer. (prior to putting stuff together, I use 3M Weld-through primer).

Here is a fairly recent photo of the whole car.

And here is one showing it about half way along (to where I am now).
