sprayed some rust preventer stuff all in the entire center section of the floor all the way down to the pedals, sprayed rock guard around the welds in the patch panel, and then undercoated the whole deal...should keep it from coming back for awhile..I also made some drain holes in the patch to let out any water that may find itself back inthere.

Nice pics and yes, ditch the crappy adapters and get the hubs drilled before they break.

getting there, got one more piece welded into the firewall, doing a piece at a time to get the shapes all correct. I just finished welding in the pieces around the linkage/fuel lines/throttle cable and clutch cable. I had to weld the end of the clutch tube back on as well...kinda broke off. Then after i weld each piece im using etch primer to the bare metal and then using rock guard to fill in and seal the gaps around the edges. THen im using rubberized under coating over that! Im also using a rust prohibiter on the inside of the panels to keep me from having to do this again..hopefully. I like overkill.

One shot shows the phones on the back and the next page has you needing the hubs drilled (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Looks good so far (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

(Let me know if you decide to go with those hubs I've got.)

Glad they made it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

From looking at that Avatar picture... you may want to have Grandma get you some sway bars for Christmas (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Keep me posted on the progress. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

That sounds interesting, please post pictures of the rear flares on the car. I always thought that would look cool. You are the first one I have heard of attempting it.

Wow, I can't wait to see what those flares look like! I made a photoshop of what it might look like back in the day, I'll look for the file.

good work (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)
