Spencer Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Yea no way am I using metal ready inside my car, that shit sits in seams and if moisture ever gets there will promote rust, seen if first hand. I bare metaled the floor then hit it with 80 grit, the POR stuck well its just that you could peel it up where the sika was?. Anyway never again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's extremely expensive ($100 a litre) and the reputation is not deserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Still sweet to get into places you cant otherwise treat. Undecided if I'll POR or 2k paint my floors yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Yea well I used to think the same but it wont stick at all spraying it into up prepped cavities, better off sparying some deodex etc rust converter primer then coating it in a cavity wax/sealant. Digging the Wurth stuff at the moment, sticks real well to unprepped surfaces and stays stuck would oulast POR 15 all day Get some industrial 2K urethane for the floor man, epoxy primer first, with the right system you can spary wet on wet no extra sanding or masking just let the epoxy flash and hit it with the top coat. Im getting some in flat black for all the engine bay stuff and floor, 4L for $136 including 2L of hardener, sets rock hard like POR and wont ever react with shit or peel off (as you can tell I am now a hater) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I dont use epoxy though I'll probably try some next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Yea well it is more expensive, but is far superior to etch. Plus wet on wet top coating saves so much time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllTorque Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Gidday Speeno. I have just joined old school and also have a 1970 Buick wagon, although mine is the little brother Sportwagon. I have come accross this workshop manual in the web and thought it may help you out. http://www.teambuick.com/reference/library/71_chassis/ Im looking forward to seeing some paint on your wagon. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 how's the paint coming along? we've been on the edge of our seats. is it together in time for the bathurst? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Just text Speeno. Sounds like it's all come together sweet. It's running strong and they made it down without any issues. I guess he'll chuck up the last couple of weeks/months updates once he gets back to Brissy (and recovers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Fuck yeah, Buick Estate Wagon. So many hours enjoyed piloting this beast back to the 'bane non-stop. I have a few photos but I think D took the most progress ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Wagon Wagon Yea big thanks go out to everyone who helped, KY, D, Sam & Phill for all the work to put it together, that shit was pretty draining. KK for driving us over the Blue Mountains from Penrith after we drove all night to get to Sydney (left Brisbane at 7.30pm) . Then KY for piloting us home from Bathurst all in one go on the way home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
