Continued sanding back the entire cabin floor pan and firewall, killed rust spots primed with rust converter/primer... tried to wash all the dust our of my clothes *cough* !
so I can clean them up and give em a real good polish before DOVW. I never really cleaned them after I took them off my yellow, so they still got little bits of marysville all over them.
Wheels will come off probably next weekend, for the same treatment. Interior also needs work. speaking of which -
does anyone know any good products to really clean all the years of grime out of 30 year old mk 1 carpet? bar hiring a steam cleaner?
After I pick up my 81 Caddy I will be replacing the engine (current engine is in the bed in back with a bad crank bearing). Not sure if I want to replace it with another 8v (one is available locally rebuilt with mild cam and a 4k tranny) or a 1.8L 16V also available locally for about the same price $125us? other than that I have to fix one hole in the floor and I am ready to roll. Picking it up this Tuesday late arvo.
hopefully I don't find any evidence of any of these !!!!!
on friday afternoon, i washed the mk1 for the first time since the dust storms. then i polished some of the rusy spots on the exterior (on the surface) and quick waxed the car so the water actually comes off.
then i adjusted the igniton timing, washed the engine bay, and gave the carb a final tune before the dyno day on sat
