New Interior that has Snowballed out of control!

[Kerby]

Talon... that last pic was all the tar off?
Holy crap... how much dynomat did you put down?

looks like a good time to order yourself a ITR B-Pillar Floor Bar and install it.

That is the remains of the stock stuff after the dryice! Tough stuff!

I already have a set of braces being welded up as we speak. it ultilizes the rearmost seatbelt mount(USDM uses the front of the two mount points) up to the stock cross bar, and another two diagonals going down to the inner rear seat mounts incorporating the 1" riser for the typeS leather seats I have.

Wow so much work..

[talonXracer]

Yeah ALOT of work !

BUT SHE IS RUST FREE !!!!!!!

Here is the rear tub all de-rusted and the majority of the asphalt crap removed

And here it is with a coat of ChassisSaver applied finally


I still need to remove the rear strut nuts, jack up the rear and allow the struts to drop down so that I can blast that area.

The LizardSkin arrived today, it will probably start going on this weekend.

Wow Doug that look great.

These two pics show the night and day difference




I still have to finish removing the head liner and sunroof assembly(this afternoon), finish blasting and sealing with ChassiSaver(tomorrow), then scuff all the internal metal panels, clean the piss out of the interior and tape it off for the LizardSkin.

Looks good, can't wait to see the final result. Looking forward to seeing how the Lizardskin stuff turns out.

One of these days I need to do the same, stripping the sound deadener. Not sure if I'll add any deadening since I'll be keeping my full interior so the added noise shouldn't be too bad.

Maybe I missed it but what sort of hammer did you use when chiseling away the OEM deadener?

I was thinking maybe a rubber mallet or something...don't want to dent up my chassis in the process.

[talonXracer]

I used several fine blade chisel's and a dual head hammer that has a plastic head and then the other side is rubber.

[dirtyMETHOD]

I am only going to blast the corrosion. no need in going overboard.

I think you're past that point already...

keep up the great work.

[Chad]

I do not envy you one bit....

BTW, How's the back feeling? I KNOW you have racked up way more hours bending over that hatch than I ever have.

[talonXracer]

It is killing me, luckily I also have a few local kids that love anything mechanical, so I get them to do alot of the real mind and back numbing stuff. Free labor for free knowledge.

A little more done today. The temps have been dropping all day long, I put the coat on the center section around 2pm, and due to the high humidity it was dry in around an hour vrs 3 hours yesterday(it is moisture cure), it needs at least one more coat but it iwent below 50 degrees around 4pm. I hope tomorrow is a tad warmer !

[02_epdriver]

Brand new Ep. That looks awesome.

[talonXracer]

Better than new! LOL

I have the design finished and starting on the layout for the rear deck/sub enclosure and the amp rack/storage area that I had previously prototyped. These will be Epoxy/wood/foam/glas/Cf creations. I think that I will vacuum bag some nice Cf for the top layer, figured I would continue the Cf theme from the dash, LOL

[talonXracer]

Anyways, I got the third coat on at noon. I also got the entire rear wheel wells, that includes the seams between the inner and outer metal panels and down in the corners for the outer panels. A true rust proofing!

And 1 two gallon tub of LizardSkin and the spraygun.
