I need to check on the name again. It was covered under insurance so $100 deductible.

I just picked up a really nice looking carpet that should be shipping in the next few days.

Postby **RX-7 Chris** » Wed Sep 26, 2012 9:14

The carpet came in yesterday. I need to give it a good cleaning and hit a few faded spots with dye.

The underside of the hood is painted as well as the underside of the front cowl.

The car is back up on the lift so we can finish the underside. The rust in the rear fender wells is worse than we originally thought. He started tapping the rust (what we thought was just a couple of quarter size holes) with a very small hamer and the hose started getting bigger.

The upper front corner of the wheel well on the passenger side:

This section isn't bad on this side.

The upper front corner of the wheel well on the driver side:

That lighter colored material behind the rust is actually paper on the inside of the car.

Upper control arm mount on the passenger side:

Upper control arm mount on the driver side:

Front angled braces and body seams that will need pulling and straightening. Probably used as jacking points at some time in the past:

My black car looked like this too but not quite as bad.

I don't want to get my hopes up but here is what happened last night at about 7:30 pm.

The laying down of the final coat of primer.

He sent me this pic this morning at 7am:

He said he was heading back down to the shop to finish it. He usually isn't even awake till 10am+ so I hope that is a good sign.

Hopefully that's a good sign.
