Did alot of sanding and grinding to remove surface rust and seam sealer. I then applied new seam sealer and used POR-15 on the floor. The process is time consuming, but I think it came out okay.
I'll probably do the rear of the cab and remainder of the firewall next weekend.

First coat = silver:


Second coat = black:

 

Whoa, that's awesome. I love seeing someone giving a great truck a new lease on life.

 

I dont get it, i didnt know toyotas came equipped with solid floor pans, or was your just not A/C equipped?
haha
Looking good! great to see such enthusiasm, to many people forget about the things you dont see, i have a strong feeling this will be a very nice truck! cant wait to see more!

 

Please explain...


Now that I have this part of the truck done. I can start putting it back together. I'll be using some more POR15 on other parts of the body. For now I'll get the interior done (for the most part).

 

I think he's talking about rust.........

 

haha yeah.. alright alright it wasent very funny, tried to get the humor in.. the point is though lol i still say lookin good

 

When I started disassembly I found that the windsheild was leaking very badly on the upper right side, the seam sealer on the right side kick panel gave away to rust, and who ever did the heater core messed up the hoses/tubes and forgot a firewall grommet so coolant was leaking into the cab. All of these problems destroyed the carpet and made removal of the factory sound deadening easy (it just popped off the floor).
So my first order of business was to fix all of the leaks and see that they dont return.
I'll be painting the outside of the kick panels after I remove the seam sealer and rust. I also want to do the engine compartment, but I need the pass. inner fender straightened out first. PO must have hit something.

 

I want to do that to mine... Nice work.

 

Wow...only like 18 years old. Looks good though! Keep up the good work and you'll have one sexy truck!
