http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehi...QAdIdZ80507814

if i had the money id go offer him 1500 for everything

 

I'll have to post that one on the Trekker site .....

 

so with the floor now cut out ..





I started to cut out the rest of the rust ....



VERY happy with the out side rockers , no rust at all !
so I have now started building it back up ..
couple of small pieces .




.

 

I'd drive down in a second .. I'm not that far away .. BUT the
thing is .. I want the factory sun roof .. thats the issue ..

 

a couple questions...what do you use to acid dip? how long do you dip it?

what do you use to zinc coat? is it a spray can style?

how resilient is the por-15 to rock and metal knicks compared to spray paint?

 

i have been woundering the same thing, cause i plan on doing this stuff to my 82 p/u 4x4 soon

 

acid is hydrafloric .. you can get it threw any auto detail supply company .. depending on the mix , ( I mix ~10:1 ) and the size piece your dipping , sometimes 1/2 hour , to overnight .. works great .
wahs with water , and dry , and zinc right away . The zinc chromate is "weld threw primer" avaliable at any welding supply , or auto parts store , and it's the best primer for bare metal there is .and yes rattle can .

POR is a rust treatment .. depending on the way you apply , is the "reziliant " coating you will get . I suggest reading the info on there site .

 

thanks for the heads up. i've read through por-15's material on their site a couple times over the last couple months. i understand its rust preventative properties, i was just curious in your experience on how well it adheres to parts (i.e. frame, axles, springs, etc). you're using it everywhere, so you must like the stuff for longevity...from that would it be safe to infer that it adheres pretty well?

 

I guess I should be more carefull about answering peoples questions about stuff like that .. sometimes I forget not all have experiance using chemicals ..


this stuff is DANGEROUS ... and upmost care should be taken in handeling , this is shop use only stuff .
protective clothing , as well as resperator MUST BE USED !

 

ABSOLUTLY ..

like I said .. sometimes I forget "were not all profesionals"

for heavens sake .. it's ACID .. handle with care

 

got a bit more done today .. sandblasted the inside of the rocker , and zinc'd ..



also got the seatbelt rienforcements in place ..



and with all the pieces now cut out , I started to weld er' all together







just have to "dress" the spot welds and one side is ready for the floor



.

 

Thanks Bro .. I'm defenatly wanting it to last another 20 + years for sure ..

 

did a couple of hours tonight .. got the cab mounts bent up , and welded ..







and kind of what they will look like ....





also . did a little more cab repair ..



welded in a new little patch ...



cut out the new piece , sand blasted ther inside , and zinc'd ... and welded .











.
