The old carpet was extremely worn, so the first job was to take the seats out and strip down to the floor. |
|
This is the view from the trunk after the old carpet was removed. |
|
The passenger side area looks rough. |
|
So does the drivers side. |
|
I covered up as much as possible and went to work. |
|
The rear area after the first go with the steel brush. I used a power drill with a wirebrush, because I did not have an angle-grinder then.
I ended up having to buy one later in order to take out the leaf springs. |
|
Drivers side after cleaning. |
|
Some through holes, but not really bad. |
|
After manually cleaning as much as possible, I applied rust converter and two layers of primer. |
|
The trunk area. |
|
I patched the areas where the rust went through to seal the interior and to distribute the weight. As I had no welder, I riveted the repair panels in place. |
|
Drivers side with the paint coat applied. |
|
Sauber. |
|
A new set of insulation to keep the vibrations low and the noise out. |
|
And new carpet. |
|
|
|
|
Next on the list was the interior. |
