Dave

Hi Dave,

Nice job!

John www.ghiaspecialties.com

Getting ready to start painting this weekend. First Metal Ready then Por 15 on bare metal. Finished lightly sanding engine bay paint for to recieve primer later. Tidied up weld seams. Pasenger side

Driver's side No fun getting all the old grime off. Since I plan to paint the engine bay I used laquer thinner which cut it pretty well.Took a lot of the gloss off too.

way to go!

NICE!

Dave:

Did you take the Wiring Harness out or are you going to just tape off around it.

I still have to get the final horse hair off the firewall..Did the Laquer Thinner work on that old glue ???

2-OH!

I left the wiring harness in and I'm working around it. Pain in the butt but, I'm lazy.

Lacquer thinner and elbow grease in equal parts.

Dave

MORE RUST FOUND.

Pasenger door down low

Trunk. By the way my pad under the carpet was sopping wet. I hope it was from the stean cleaning about a month ago

Driver's door in the seal channel

Trunk prepared for Por 15

Pad under carpet in trunk....

Hey Dave, if you care at all about your car, remove the padding under the carpet in the trunk, and the carpet over the padding in the trunk.

Take all that out.

Another view of the trunk

Gotcha Miles

Thanks

Dave

Cut out the rust in the channel in the driver's door

Patch welded in

you're getting really good dave!!! welds are looking nice. you must have been expecting the worst til' you got the seam seal off in the trunk. where are you going from this point? still on the "hunt" or getting ready to start buttoning things up? you going to do the suspension while it's up in the air?

I wish I could say the welds are looking nice. They are a little better but, the grinding is getting really good.

I won't commit to being done with the hunt. Every time I think I've found the last of the rust I find more.

I did kinda jumped the gun on the trunk. But, I couldn't foresee that there wouldn't be rust under the seam sealer. Everywhere else it has hidden some. At least it was easy to get to. Only took about an hour to clean up.

Vacuumed really well this afternoon and wiped all the affected areas with tack cloth. Gonna start treating the bare metal tomorrow

Dave

I throw away customers' SPONGES. They ask me "where did my pad go" and I point to the dumpster.

Dave everything is turning out REAL nice. Good job.

Treated all the bare areas with Metal Ready. Stuff smells nasty. It turned all the areas with any rust black as advertised. Headed out to do a lot of rinsing.

Dave

Metal etched and ready for Por 15.

Painted the center tunnel with Por 15. Used Metal Ready to prep it. The car is on jack stands with the nose down a couple of degrees. Poured about 1/4 cup of Por 15 in the aft inspestion port then used the air compressor and gravity to flow the paint down the tunnel. Worked really well. I used the excess to paint around the petal cluster.

Great way to paint. Quick and dirty

Dave

Hey Doc, my car is next!



Good job, how's that eye doing?

Miles

Only one problem. I hope I never have to do this again. (I know they never stop rusting) You'll have to do your own.

Eyes great. Thanks for your concern

Dave

It's everyone's dream to have the perfect machine.

It's my dream to have Ed McMahon drive it here from somewhere else, so I don't have to take 3 years of crap off of JP when I start spraying primer.


M

Hit on an idea to get Por 15 between the inner and outer lower firewall. I injected about 50cc's of Por 15 through the tubing into the space. Then I blew the hell out of it with the compressor to spead it around. If it works anything like it did for the center tunnel it should do a pretty good job.

Dave

Nice to see an end in sight. Brushed on Por 15 in the front trunk. I think it looks pretty darn good

Dave

should have used the metal ready for the forced injection

looking good!
