How were you going to go about the rust on the underbody, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[crimsondragon]

Most likely with steel wool, elbow grease, and then either black rustoleum paint or rubber underbody spray.

 

[Imback]

That's a mighty long list of little things to do.

 

[airmail96]

Long list but it seems like there are a few easy task you can knock out pretty quickly .

Have you ever thought about using some sort of media-blasting under the car? It would save you SO much time and hassle. That list is mighty long. Good thing you have all of spring and summer when it gets here. I just spent about 5 days doing a cylinder head swap only to find other leaks that didnt show when I had the car running on the jack-stands for over an hour. Oh well. Good luck to you man....

 

[crimsondragon]

No I didn't because I don't have a media blaster. Elbow grease will have to suffice. Adding an alignment job to the list. I just smashed the front passenger wheel into a curb.

I remember disassembling my sunroof numerous times to figure out why it kept getting stuck.. I'm a pro at it now!
