inline4

i believe its a 6 hp motor

i got a crapsman 30 gallon. is that big enough?

what do i need to get to use my compressor asa sandblaster?

fine... i'll buy a mig welder and learn

is there anything wrong with cutting out some bad metal, and por 15 and riveting some plates on top? there's some okay metal on the floors, but its not all that great and there are some parts where there's a huge section of holes. any input on if this is a good or bad idea in the long run? I'd like to put a cage in the car later

so if i my buddy primers it black i should be safe? its gonna be a dark grey metallic. I dont want him to spray metallic cause he's never done it before.

the car is originally gunmetal and a friend is going to prime it black using some funky brand primer (its all oxidized and I want it uniform until I can afford to repaint.) if the car is grey and I have it primered black, will it be a problem when it comes to paint, since it will just be black, and the paint job will be grey, not to mention the different brand primers?

well they may have dropped out the big gaping rust hole in the back, so what do i do about the trunk? I have a rim there that I would eventually like to take out and I dont want to damage the car too much.

the datsun is on hold, I got a ae86 corolla sr5 that needs a new engine, and is a little more complete than the datsun is so I will have a decent daily driver and not a driving project I did get an air compressor though, Just not sure if I really need it.

me or Carl?

only thing that will suck is once I put the por 15 down, I dont want any crap getting wet and molding or getting wet and taking a long tgime to dry

hey... after using por 15 on the bottom, should I use chassiscoat or should i undercoat with rubber. if i undercoat, what else do i need to prep before spraying the rubber?

the por 15 distributors website advises against sanding but sandblasting, and acid is fine. what method should i use? engine degreaser seems to be taking the asphalt off fine by the way.

so before i have the floors welded in should i strip it completely of paint?

how long is the leadtime for por 15 to ship if i buy it? I'm gonna have it cleaned and prepped hopefully within the week. just no undercoat and I want to clean up the interior... the floors are red and the car is mexican orange

solvent like what? acetone?

what do you suggest as a method. the donor floorpans are out of the car already

I've posted pics of my 510 before and the really rusty floors. I've had another body guy look at it and say that its ok to do work on it. (I had another that wont touch it) the third one is going to weld it for me So instead of new sheet metal, I have a donor floor that is in very good condition. I have to take up the sound deadening mat and see what its like underneath. My question is what should I use to remove the old undercoating from the bottom, since it is already out. im gonna screwdriver chisel the rest and then por 15 after the floors are welded in (and when its summertime) so I'm looking to start soon. what would you guys suggest? thansk

I'm gonna use a pair of 240sx seats in my car. the thing is the upholstery needs to be redone. Does this seem like something any normal person could do or should I have it done professionaly?

thats because you're behind them ::

I have to buy the floors from a guy in Virginia.. the car is a 510.I'm going to jack the car up today and try and pull some of the undercoat off to see what condition the car is in. as far as welding, its wishy washy. one of my customers at work runs a bodyshop. he said probably 4 hours of work. so 50 an hour = 200 for the labor. does 4 hours sound right? or should it take more time?

as far as the bottom goes then, should I not have the shop do anything to the bottom and I take it home to por 15 and then undercoat? and no paint?

would paint and rubber undercoating do ok? or should i do por15 or something? I'm having a bodyshop weld in new floors for my car and was wondering if I should bother with stuff like por15 on new metal, as I've heard it doesnt like new metal all that much.

if i glass over the floors with por 15's floor and trunk kit, do you guys suggest i plug up the drain gaskets or not?

this is for my 510... I'm working on getting a 240 after this is running
