Hi Ya'll,
Todays first picture demonstrates how these cars can be damaged by careless attempts to raise the car, Often we'll see damage to the radiator support bar, damage to the 'picture frame' and the floors. These floors were damaged by careless placement of the supports of a two post lift likely by a tire technician trying to lift the car for service.
 |
| Picture doesn't do this justice, couldn't get the floor mats to lay flat with this caved in area, took a considerable amount of time and the assistance of my lovely wife (holding the steel rebound block). |
 |
| Came out quite nice, not perfect but darn good, if I do say so myself. |
 |
| Drooping 'hardura' that I glued back in place. |
 |
| New floor mats that Jennifer bought, note the 'pins' holding them in place. Will have to be careful not to vacuum them up. |
 |
| Cutting felt for floor insulation |
 |
| Insulation in place |
 |
| New floor mat that fits flush now :-) |
 |
| Crud under the battery tray, note the damage to the splash panel again from jacking it up with 'pads' in the wrong location. |
 |
| White sox fan obviously, battery tray |
 |
| Crappy paint job but protected from rust. |
Tomorrow I may be able to put in a couple of hours in the morning but will likely help Rod get his car back together tomorrow afternoon-he expects to get it home tomorrow morning. Will work on straightening the splash panel and prepare it for drippy black paint.
Cheers,
Lynn

I like those floor mats. Where do you get them?
ReplyDeleteMorning Drew,
DeleteJennifer bought them off of Ebay but I have seen them listed at the usuals too. I have them in my car too, they are just a lot more practical than the carpets (which are on a shelf for the next owner).
Cheers,
Lynn
