Hey guys. Just joined the forum! This is my 1999 Eclipse GSX w/ black leather interior and all the options... The hardest and most sought after version (except it being an auto, ). My dream car.
Over the years the weather and salt seems to have taken a toll on my previously showroom quality Eclipse GSX, I am wondering if this rust is fixable, what my options are, and cost estimates and tools required from experienced owners.
I am also looking for experienced owners on guidance for fully dismantling the car and re-building it, (where parts go back together, what order to remove things/ put them back ect). If you are in the CT or MA area or willing to drive up I would greatly appreciate your knowledge, expertise and advice. I need someone to do a full inspection of the car and tell me what needs cleaning, fixing, or replacing when we remove all the parts. I will be also looking for replacement parts and possibly a painter on DSMtuners too, I was told painting the car black would be $3000-4000. I want to (1) dismantle down to the uni-body frame (2) screen the part conditions (3) lay them out in an organized fashion (4) repair/ clean all the rust (5) rust proof with truck bed liner (interior/ trunk/ engine bay) (6) touch up exterior paint/ PDR on some recent small dents (7) install CF hood, wiper cowl and hatch (8) install widebody and polyurethane front and rear bumpers (9) repaint exterior from white to black (10) replace, paint, or blackout all light fixtures and replace them with white, amber and red LED bulbs. Depending on how much this costs, I am going to hold off on rims, CF interior, air suspension, and performance mods. I will do the maintenance mods tho.
