Coming along quite nicely! Get a new hatch, with all the options and finish out the brake swap and wheels. Then it will look snazzy!

Rust!!
I noticed part of the floorboard was soft, so I pulled the carpet again and scraped off all the rusty metal.. here is what I found.



All the crap I scraped off! :shock:

Put some rusty metal primer on it for now, and I will patch the holes up tomorrow





I'm going to go through the whole car and try to fix all the rust spots.. I want to do things better this time around

Todays work
Got the engine bay primered, and will paint it tomorrow. I know it looks kinda funny because it's two different colors of primer, but hey it works:p
