A fun garage tip: If you blast 80s techno-pop while you work on your 80s car, you'll feel like your are in an 80s movie montage. Unfortunately, this practice does not make time go by faster, but it makes it FEEL like it's going faster. In a typical 80s film, a job like this would take approximately thirty seconds with a little Tears for Fears background musice.
Chipped up some flooring today. From what I can tell, there's not a lot of rust. I'm not going to go CRAZY here, but I do want to remove as much as possible. I used a multitool set to high RPM to zip it off. Then I wiped it down with paint thinner. I have some spots to address still. It took me about an hour to do this. I need to do the other side and the back seat. I will be painting the floor with Master Series Silver and then top coating with Rustoleum Rust Coat.

My timing belt and bearing are sitting on my work bench. My mini van has been distracting me from my Fiat. It required some extensive maintenance. I was just given an early Christmas present. My father ordered up some Master Series Silver rust paint for me. this means I can start cleaning up the floor, sanding it and prepping it for paint. I can also weld through it, so it's time to fix the three spots on the body that need patch and cut out the rear rocker sections and weld in new flanges. I'm eager to get started again. I was moving a quick pace up until now. I'll need to borrow my father-in-laws space heater for the garage while I work. Starting to cool down here in New England. |
