Alright thanks man will keep using that por15 everywere and that color code would be nice

[Fejery4491]

Just make sure you follow the por15 directions on top coating. Either spray over it within the top coating window or scuff it up like they say

[dsmDolney]

Just have to weld in the strut tower possibly get to that tomarrow then scuff and paint geeze im so anxious to get thos done before the cruise

[dsmDolney]

Update on my project havnt got much done and have been feeling like crap lately just a little taping off for paint went and got some paint matched up and got the strut tower welded in just a little sanding and maybe some bond to cover grind marks and make it smooth hopefully be able to drop the motor in within the next week or so

[dsmreck]

Looking like fun. Sorry I didn't get back to you on the paint code I been crazy busy at work.

[mark4g63t]

Looks good, did you get the other spot you were talking about?

[Fejery4491]

Did you have any rust on the backside of that strut tower between it and the firewall?

[dsmDolney]

Yea not so much fun i have a little rust on the backside dont know if i should just grind it and prep and paint over it or cut it out because i have no clue how to get to that spot

[dsmDolney]

And it no problem dsmreck i went and got some matched so its all good

[Fejery4491]

If you can get down to clean and solid metal that would work. Otherwise you'd have to go through the wheel well

Lots of good info here looks good Man
I'm planning on tackling the same thing soon on my 1gb
Keep the pics coming and post a pick of the por15 stuff you guys are talking about.

[dsmreck]

Cut out any rust you can on the back also. Grind the rest and use the por15 or converters between the two layers. Than make plates if u have to and weld them in place

[dsmDolney]

Havnt updated this in a while so here it is i was in a major car accident a couple weeks ago and lucky to be alive broke my pelvic bone in my hip in half was in the hospital for 3 weeks and thats the reason i wasnt on the cruise . So i havnt gotten much farther on my car and now i cant walk but will get as much done as possible on crutches will be assembling my motor this week hopefully then paint soon and drop the motor in.

[DSMINMN]

Good God..what were you driving?! I can't even tell what that thing is. Glad you're alive! Get healed up and get that thing done! lol

[dsmDolney]

[mark4g63t]

[Halon]

[C3L1CA]

Thats pretty scary, glad you're still alive!

Slow progress on the car is better than no progress!

[dsmDolney]

Thanks guys glad to still be here eventhough it was hell in the hospital basically it would have been sad to leave the earth with a unfinished car that would go to waste

[dsmreck]
