it is so infuriating isnt it..... [:(!] but lacking a time machine to go back buy a new one and hide it like they did the de lorean in back to the future 3 so i know it will only of had me work on it, it carries on.....
decided today to try something else, so went to take drivers seat out... uncanny how mervs law works, yes, 3 bolts out nicely, the one in mid air so not in contact with anything to rust, solid and then sheered off.... but at least seat now out..... now thinking about what to put back in, original, mx5 ford probe or something else.....watch this space.....
well picked up remaining bits of carpet and took in the scene in front of me.... a light brown floor...... bit the bullet and let loose with drill and wire brush, and eventually left the floor more metallic in colour.......... and....... you may need to sit down here...... no holes...... found a few pop rivet heads but can see no visible botch repairs so think these are from a different repairer who may of just held a repair panel in place while welding it properly, i know i've used this method before where a lack of hands prevails....so after a coat of rust converter, i gave it a coat of hammerite, is it just me or does everyone love the smell of that stuff? and it is now, as i type this drying... pics will follow.
did then have to paint the railings as that was actually what the wife bought the paint for but hey, theres enough left..........
the project at birth, watch it evolve...I hope...
