Glad to help. As dirty as your heater box was though, I can certainly understand why you were thinking a filter was necessary. That thing was a dirty dusty mess! Was the entire car like that when you started?

 

 

no, the car was in good condition...

 

Most of the dust came from when I did the floors... lot of rust dust went behind the dash and inside the air vents... I was going to remove the dash anyway, so I didn't do a good job covering the dash when I did the floors...

That makes sense. The other pics of the car look clean. I was surprised the heater box was that dusty.

 

Good luck with the re-sealing. Hope your toes are toasty and your windshield clear. 

hello there...

one year later and I still have a lot to do with my car... done few things though and I am happy

I knew it was going to be a slow progress due to the lack of time... I do all the things alone and since I have a family with two little boys, the time for my Z is very limited.

So, all this time I did the following tasks  

 

Removed the factory tar insulation to check for hidden rust

 

Then painted original silver (the oem color is silver)

 

New tar insulation

 

On top of that I added an extra thermal/ noise insulation

 

and I hope tomorrow find time to finish with the jute carpet padding on floors and tunnel

 

I finished the dash, I am really happy with the result...

before

and after

 

 

I hope this weekend to finish with the whole interior... lets see... I have told this so many times before
