Well I reached what I feel like is a major milestone...got the interior done except for re-assembly. After watching CptTripps bedliner his interior with good results, deceided I would like some texture inside as well.
Here is what I did to my interior... 1) took it down to bare metal (mostly) 2) Clean, Metal-ready, POR-15 Silver 3) Etching Primer 4) Paintable textured undercoating 5) Sealing Primer 6) Adriatic Blue Topcoat I think it turned out real well. Since I'm not putting carpet in there I think it will be pretty durable too. Attached image(s)

I sprayed it with a gun. I have a little $20 gun from Harbor Freight. Mixed it up with 5% POR-15 thinner and 95% POR-15. And the primer was sprayed too. Works good, but it has the nastiest fumes of anything I have used. Pay for a good mask or respirator. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |

How much of each did you have to buy in order to do this? (Not just the POR-15, but the other stuff too -) I have got a cheap gun too....!!!!!

Let's See, 3 6oz cans of POR-15 (I buy in it in those six packs) ~ $37 1 Quart of Etching primer (It is real thin and I used the whole quart) ~ $18 3 Rattle cans of 3M Paintable Rubberized undercoating. ~$30 1 Quart of Sealing Primer (used about 1/3 to 1/2 of that) ~$15 1 Quart of Adriatic blue (Used about 1/2 of that) ~$22 I also used a 1/2 tube of that POR-15 patch to cover some welding and rust pinholes. (BTW: that is tough stuff, make sure you wipe it as smooth as possible unless you want to sand on it 4 ever) It cost me about $150 bucks to do the whole thing, not too bad. |

very nice work (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) . Is there an reference number for the adriatic blue paint? Or must the colour been mixed to match the existing colour? I have to paint some parts of my car in the near future. Which kind of paint did you use? Regards Michael (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_flagge6.gif) |

All I did was go to my local auto paint store and tell them the code (L50E) and the year (1972). They looked it up on a computer to get the formula and mixed it. It is way too bright to match the old paint on the outside of my car, so unless you paint the whole thing I wouldn't go that route. Most shops offer computer matching also. You can take your headlight lid with you and they can scan it with their computer. This "should" match your car exactly taking into account the years of wear and fading on the paint. I used a low end acrylic enamel since it was just on the interior. If you are going to paint the outside, the guy I bought the paint from recommended a paint that is a base-coat and clear-coat combined into one. He said it is the easiest to make look good. Good Luck and keep up the good work on yours also! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) |

Chris...I just have to throw in my two cents here....EXCELLENT WORK!!! Like I've said before....its great that you ended up with that car from us and have put your heart and soul in it. I'm jealous now....as if I wasn't the day I drove it you.
We can't wait to see it in person and if you need anything just let us know. BTW...after you get this stage of the project done you should consider doing some resto work for others...hint, hint..I have a 73 2.0 that could use your touch!! See ya, Mark www.premier-autosales.com |

Well, I am coming to see you guys soon to get that pipe so we can talk about that (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) As far as the one in you avatar, it probably just needs a few welds here and there, some duct tape, and a bungee cord or two and and everything will be fine (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) Or maybe we could get one of those fine chasis that AA has for sale on Ebay right now.

More Progress, it is too nice outside for my teener to be on jackstands. Fitting the Right outer suspension mount (Thanks Cloudbuster for the rust-free CA part).
