Alright,

So here is what I have been up too. I started the process of grinding down all the rust and paint on the floor pans and firewall to find out exactly what is good metal and what will need to be replaced.

I took a quick brake of grinding and took about two days to re-fresh the gauge panel and the gauge bezels. I sanded them down to metal, primed, painted and clear coated.

I am almost done with the sanding/grinding of the paint and other 'stuff' that has accumulated on the car. After I am done it will get some POR-15....yeah baby!!!

I also got some more parts. I got the engine mounts from small car, the radiator (from a late 80's jetta, the same one that tonyakavw used in his second radiator setup). I also got a 16 gallon air compressor with a max 150psi from my friend who bought it for a fence he built and now has no use for it, so it is mine until further notice....hurray!!!!!!!!

So, I do have a few questions and then I will post pics.

-Can the POR-15 go directly onto the bare metal or do I need to add a coat of primer first??

-What type of sealer should I use to re-seal all of the joints where the previous white gooey material was or will the POR-15 be enough?

That is all for now, I know I will think of more questions as soon as I finish posting.

-Peter

pics to follow...

The tools I am using...

Various sizes of wire brush (crimped) wheels

2 paint/rust remover wheels

that big one is called a removal all brush or something like that...worked really well to get the first layer of bulky rust off

small grinding wheels, a couple different styles, VERY useful for getting the tiny joints and areas where the wheels couldnt get too.

So, nothing has really changed on the car since my last post since I have been away at school, I have had no chance to work on the car. However, I have been ordering parts for a while and was able to make it home last weekend between water polo games and look at my new parts, and yes I took pictures. So here ya go......

--Flywheel from KEP--

Excellent choice on the raditor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) And those fans look familar too. Those tools you are using for paint removal are identical to the ones I used. I'm actually amazed, you have literally the exact number and variety of tools as I do (except the small grinding stone bits).

Looking good!

Thanks tony, yea the small bits werent as useful as i thought but did help with some of the small corner style areas. I have a question for you actually. Where did you get your expansion tank and what style did you get?
