Well I am thinking about getting going on my car after it has sat for almost 4 years collecting dust. The body shop left it in primer, and mostly block sanded in OCT of 2006. It has been neglected in my garage for most of that time due to employment setbacks (I was out of work for 25% of that time). Now that I feel settled in my new job, and comfortable that it will not go away, I was thinking about just putting it together and driving it in primer, just to have it running. I figured better to drive than look at it in the garage, right? Well I rolled it out of the garage to spray it off, since it got a bit of road salt on it when Rick (rick 918-S) dragged it out here to California in March or so. Well after I hose it off, I start to notice all the ugly rust areas! WTF, I was hoping that the primer would at least keep the metal from oxidizing while it sat! Now I guess I have to start to think about geting it finished with paint prep and get at least a cheap paint job on it! makes me wish I had the time, room and skills to paint it, but I look at it and wonder how the hell any one would go about prepping all the nooks and crannies for paint?
