izzo,

You mean the lugnuts lol,

Rockauto for lugnuts, not cheap.

[izzo]

ah ok. I found a site a while back compliments of banner and it had low cost lug nuts, can't find it now. Everywhere else is retarded expensive. need to goto Costless in vancouver, its like a buck a lug there.

The owner of the welding shop texted me a picture today, and there is a voicemail I haven't answered. hmmmm

Pretty common area to be rusted(especially up here,if they are not its a gold mine here)
Getting fenders on

I still can't believe the amount of dirt that was lodged in there. No wonder so much rust. And around the rear too.

The good thing is that the floorboards and frame-rails are really solid.

I love driving it, and I get a lot of compliments even the state she is in.

[510freak]

The box area does accumulate alot of dirt over the years, usually the first area I hit with a pressure washer.
Thats great the floors and rails are solid.
They are a blast to drive Kenny, been enjoying the 510s for 25 plus years(when I say that I feel old )

[peanutbuttercups]

Bcups is back!!! The guy did a great job at the shop

Glad I didn't attempt this one, even he said it was a pain in the ass. He did mention that if I wanted to sell it, well you know.


Now she's getting some new shoes



Glad to have her home!

Now to get on that rear end situation, take off the hideous homemade seat belt thingies and get it one color.

Haven't got much done this week, busy busy. I did have time to get some new meat's on



I did find time to POR15 my new METAL. And hit the wheel wells with some rubberized undercoating.





The 50 series tires don't have any clearance issues.

Can you believe the person selling that hardbody wanted seven grand? wow.

[510freak]

Swasticas look great on the goon Kenny

[peanutbuttercups]

Thanks lou, gotta find centercaps for the rims now. I really want a set of Rotas now.



Here's to you guys!!!

So I may have found the answer for the rest of the rust repair in wheel well area, I don't really want to fiberglass this. I like METAL!!!

Here's the rest of the problem areas





So I was stumbling through the JY the other day and saw this



I napped some interior parts, I only had me pocket tool. Hopefully they will let me cut out the area I need. I will go by and talk more tomorrow.

Nice,Weed beer(from weed?)
And stickers

in a pinch you can use the leftovers of front fenders to make the dogleg portion(the rusted area in pic)
the arch is the same(switch left to right,right to left)if they dont want to cut this out for you Kenny

Yeah Mt. Shasta brewing company, I'll grab some b4 Canby. I'm trying really hard to make it!! Have money stored away already

I was wondering about the front fender thing. It sounded like they wanted to charge me for a whole quarter of the car. I really don't want to have to saw that thing in half.

[510freak]

Sweet!


It can be done,just take the arch from the left front fender,and put it on the right rear, a bit of metal massaging and you can have a dogleg,and from he looks of it,the guy that did the metal work on the inner fender of the goon,it will be done nicely.

Thanks Lou,

I'm such a noob. I will check out the front fender thing.

The guy from the shop does a great job, I'll be honest my welds are functional, but not pretty.

[510freak]

Yeah, learned this years and years ago,we have to make due up here(if rotted,have no access to rust free metal doglegs here now)

Looks like he does Kenny

[peanutbuttercups]

I got off work today and picked up a buddy's Dewalt sawzall (battery ) That thing is ruthless.

Then went to pnp and cut the rust repair areas out!







Also picked up some Thule roof racks this week on CL for cheap. I lost a pad on one.



That should take care of the major rust areas. The rest can be sanded, etc.

For some reason my drivers door won't shut. This happened on my hardbody occasionally, on it you could rotate the latch and it would fix it. Not working on the g00n.
