I had to remove the lower bucket seat on the passenger side to chance the seat belts, to take a look for a possible short(which there was no electrics under there) and as soon as I put a socket on the rear four, they snapped right off. So, now I'm left with figuring out how to secure the seats.
And while I'm here, the pan itself feels ok, but there seems to be some sort of insulation or sound proofing that's cracked. How does that compare to the rest of cars out there? Thoughts? Attached thumbnail(s)  Attached image(s)

The tar dries out and cracks but it doesn’t mean your pan is toast. An electric multi tool with a scraper blade makes short work of it if you want to remove and apply modern stuff.

I have other projects in the hopper...I've read dry ice also makes quick work of it (according to some Honda guys). I'm under the "if it isn't broke right now, don't fix it" mantra. The car needs way more stuff before that.
Probably gonna stay like that until winter. |

I'm under the "if it isn't broke right now, don't fix it" mantra. The car needs way more stuff before that. Probably gonna stay like that until winter. Consider heat as being your best helper in this situation,mask and insulate the area and use a butane torch to heat the bolts ,apply suitable penetrating spray when they are still hot,you may need to repeat a few times. Just use the very tip of the butane torch flame so you don't burn of too much paint,keep a wet rag near by to chill the area. The longer broken ones will mostly unscrew with vicegrips the other ones you can be drilled out or if you have a mig welder and try applying blobs of weld on them so the vicegrips have something to bite on to. If you don't have the skills or a welder you could just drill them out and put nut-serts in the ones that are broken off flush. Good luck |
