this project has a major case of the " while youre in there" syndrome. this started as a cowl rust repair and chrome delete.
Peter's chrome trim is in great shape. it is RARE to find 914 window trim that fits flush. it is soft AL and the shape is critical to a snug fit after removign the wipers, we have to locate 20 plastic trim clips Attached thumbnail(s) |

wire wheel...went a little crazy.I pick away at teh cowl gap fairly deep to remove rusty flakes first
the deep pitting rust must be neutrilized. I use SEM rust mort first. let it set on bare metal fro a day. keep it wet and out of teh sun. DO NOT ALLOW IT TO DRY. If you want to stop for teh day, wipe it off with a damp cloth. once teh rust has turned black deep into the pits, i switch to Ospho or PPG DX 530. leave this on all night. teh metal will look dull grey when it is well etched then wipe with damp (almost dry) cloth. blow dry, let dry for a day, use some sunshine now is OK. do not be tempted to grind down rust to clean metal. it will be too thin. let the chemicals do their job POR 15 is applied ONLY on teh rough areas of rust pitting. POR 15 does not stick to clean metal but the etching process described above will make it stick if you get a little sloppy with its spread. Attached thumbnail(s) |
