this is the only bad bit of rust bar the tire well and bottom corners of the boot rubber lip, its from where they stiched the rx4 panel back on and didn't proof it.. does anybody have a rust free tire well they want to sell me?

Prob the only bit of bog, regards Gary A Smith.. prob shouldn't say that, hmm

 

IMAG1514_zps6leztzyn.jpg

 

I might try and resurrect this engine, only had 40km on a rebuild.

 

IMAG1510_zpsprzemasv.jpg

 

Took these just to show you what I'm dealing with conditions wise in brotown.. this is just from the air out here.

Took this bit out..

 

IMAG1555_zpsgo22rwir.jpg

 

 

 

 

Basically stripped the engine bay.. been having some colour thoughts and I'm kind of keen to stay with BRG as opposed to going back factory bronze.. offsets the s/s bits nice...

Gay, this one too.. opened up another photobucket account so should hopefully have no more issues..

 

Anyway have the engine bay a blast..

 

IMAG1594_zpse0cmpkeg.jpg

 

Stripped half the paint off, sanding the primer might have been a good idea.

 

Also documented all the rust.

 

IMAG1595_zps93ov9xos.jpg

 

Found a sneaky bit inside the wiper plenum passenger side, bit of a cunt to get to. Have to do a bit of choppy choppy just to get to it.

 

IMAG1596_zpsqtwrys1d.jpg

 

Drivers side just surface shit.

 

IMAG1597_zpsvnezxyv2.jpg

 

Pass front window drain, I guess this is a common issue?

 

IMAG1598_zpsyw1fel2l.jpg

 

Rear pass window trim clip mount, this actually snapped off about 1998, somehow the pin was still under there.. bit of a prick to reattach.

 

IMAG1599_zpsuc3fpyff.jpg

 

IMAG1600_zpsjmfpijzf.jpg

 

Both sides of the boot lip, fairly common and easy fix.

 

IMAG1601_zpsxyo2vhmo.jpg

 

IMAG1602_zpsqnycoexb.jpg

 

Also have to fix the passenger rear quarter as its of an early rx4 and mines the face lift, the rx4 being wider where the bumper sits won't let the later model trim sit flush.

 

IMAG1605_zpsh4upgzwf.jpg

 

Both sides of the a pillar, was always like this.. I now just have the tools to fix it. So these plus the tyre well and rear passenger sill to repair. Not too bad in the rust department, just very minor shit. Meant to buy some paint stripper this weekend but I forgot, just have to do it with the strip disc..

In some other news, the rust that I thought was rust under the rear passenger sill

IMAG0038_1_zpskctecwrs.jpg

Has turned out not to be what I thought, just some lumpy spot welds disguising themselves as rust bubbles, which is fucken great..

This was a bit of a cunt to get out, plug welded spot welds and brazing.. had to cut the brazing with a 1mm carbide bit on the dremel..

IMAG1645_zpsoj9rndb6.jpg

Got it in the end tho.

IMAG1678_zps2tbzvzqo.jpg

Might just cut the other before it gets to the brazing as it's the factory stuff and done better than the repaired side, plus there's no rust under there like the other side..

Started stripping the passenger rear quarter today

IMAG1695_zps3ikdxfnr.jpg

IMAG1697_zpsp4xwdlzf.jpg

Virgin steel,

IMAG1696_zpsp94yasxm.jpg

and found stuff..

IMAG1698_zpswkuponue.jpg

IMAG1699_zpsu1fwi7h0.jpg

IMAG1701_zpsexxxnk5o.jpg

Needless to say I'm pretty disappointed. I actually had a nos quarter from Japan ordered but these monkeys wanted to go with this piece of shit panel, goes to show that even top end beaters are still wannabe plasterers at heart.. gonna have to cut it out and put new steel back there..

Stripped the roof this arvo..

IMAG1711_zpsx9kkdtfj.jpg

Already knew about this bog, didn't know I was bogging over bog tho.. have the original doors which are dead straight but a couple of rust issues along the bottom, nothing super horrific but they need a few hours work. Also have some other doors with just a couple of dings in them that could be more economical to use..

IMAG1715_zpsy3kolg04.jpg

More Gary A Smith awesomeness..

IMAG1714_zps4c5fx9tu.jpg

Should look more like this,

IMAG1713_zpstorabyx1.jpg

Not sure what to do about that, may just epoxy back over it and try to forget it..

Did a bit more on this..

Used a shit load of stripper on one door, shit just doesn't wanna come off..

Turns to sludge..

IMAG1758_zpsjxvwsfdg.jpg

Got there in the end, sort of..

IMAG1757_zpszvcgskti.jpg

This hole randomly appeared in both sides, it's crazy, can look right through..

IMAG1761_zpsb5tmgzts.jpg

Did a bit more digging around ga smiths work..

It's ugly but it does the job and there's no rust, if the window was out I'd lead it, just have to settle for bog..

IMAG1754_zpslogm9u80.jpg

I remember this punch hole from when they fixed it, so much for welding a patch in, cunts..

IMAG1756_zpspiromf5q.jpg

When they put the window back in they just over filled everything with urethane,

IMAG1751_zpsgxlmzh8b.jpg

Which resulted in this,

IMAG1753_zpsvbaedocc.jpg

Just surface shit, but again, professionals. Anyway, I've dug out all the excess sealant from around the windows so I can clean it all up.. stripped the sills and took a peek inside and they're clean as a whistle which is good..

Got myself some goodies..

 

IMAG1796_zpstiss7rbj.jpg

 

Also found this in the pass footwell,

 

IMAG1800_zpseq60wlfb.jpg

 

And yes that's a hole, directly related to this

 

IMAG1595_zps93ov9xos.jpg

 

 I'm gonna have to somehow disguise that repair for the re-vin, easy enough to fix, just a cunt. I'm glad I said this would theoretically be a simple  repaint and re-vin, turning out slightly more complicated.
