Finally did a bit more work to my car.
Over the past week I pulled the back end of my car off and repaired some rust, painted the affected areas, painted my rear garnish again and the inside of the boot, and finally added a roll bar so I can now take part in some rally sprint events etc.
Dad was very happy to find out I pulled my car apart in his shed once again...
I used a dremel to remove the rust along the boot until there was bare metal
Some rust converter was applied to make sure this didn't happen again.
While I was waiting for the rust converter to set (24 hour recommended waiting time) I set to work on the inside of my boot. The previous owner had done a poor job of masking away the fact the car was red in the boot and engine bay. Rattle canned black with what seemed to be little to no prep and hadn't taken effort into removing things such as the battery. I pulled everything out on the bad corner and cleaned it all up.
3 coats of primer done, next up gloss black.
Once the 24 hours had passed I hit the pre rusty area with some primer and then a colour matched green.
Much better
Today I also went to MX5 Mania in Dural and picked up a Brown Davis roll bar in my trusty Toyota Townace.
(Mandatory Old Pac picture)
Roll bar acquired, now to tackle Galston Gorge
The roll bar went in without any issues. Such an easy job.
Gave the rear garnish a hit with some Gloss black as the matte black looked awful.
And the car is back together once again
Quite a rewarding job
8s allow for 205s or 225s, so there's options, but 9s fill out the guards so nice! (I'm thinking 6ULs though)
