Topher88 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Today i replaced the hood release cable, gutted the interior and tomorrow im going to start hitting it with a cup brush and getting rid of all the surface rust then hit it with a rust inhibiting primer. also gona do the same for the trunk Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Word, good car man. floor pans really dont look bad bro. Could also get one of those 3M flapper discs, itll take it down to metal without burning up the metal. Gets rid of paint/rust really well. Then some por15. Skunk did it to the dime i bought from him, he did a kickass job.. Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 i got some Zero Rust and the reviews i read it sounded like it held up a little better but ya ill look into that flapper disc Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 holy rusted mettle bat man! Tore apart the front end and polished and buffed out what i could. i had to take the grill out any ways to fix the cable so while i was at it i figured might as well polish it up a bit. still need alot of work but its more presentable. body work is a must start soon after i patch up all the rust Before After For my green one i re painted all of the head light housings so since i put so much time into them i just swapped them over to this one.

Topher88 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 and from the pics i just noticed why my head lights weren't sitting strait.... looks like there is a brights bucket and a normal driving lights bucket... the divots where the light bulb sit are in different location.

Topher88 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 So i have been super busy lately but today i was able to pull out most of the dash and started to grind down more of the interior so i can spray it with some Zero Rust. Ill probably end up making up some floor pans to fix the rust thats on the rear floor pan and underneath where the rear seats sit. also picked up some 280zx struts that are modified for MR2 inserts. Also need to do some re piping in the engine bay also re mount the radiator. anyways ill take some pics later. I am REALLY hoping i dont have to get some low pro tires with my new wheels cuz as they sit now on the stock 510 struts they rub bad in the front. I have to run the 13's in the front.
