A pack of Air Sponges, rotating out as they started to shrink inside their case, is the only way I got the smell of gear oil out of my old Subaru's carpet. Excellent thread title.

That's what happened to me with a WRX and a $1000 Subaru that came pre-dented. Beaters are the best cars. Beaters are the only cars. I give it a month before you start reading my tumblr and collecting a pinterest album of degraded-looking AMCs.

Yeah that is through-and-through. If you can get behind it you might be able to get a better look. I bet that's where two sheets of metal pinch down into a corner which is packed with salt through some gap in the body. If you do wheel it and get it patched, spray something like the Eastwood interior frame coat or some cavity wax in there. Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 02:59 on Feb 5, 2016 |

kimbo305 posted:When it's flaking hard and bubbling, is there any point in treating the remains with rust converter? Does that help stop the spread at the edges? This is assuming I can get behind it to the unpainted side. Yeah, if you can get the back side of it with rust converter and put something protective on top it'll definitely help. You'll need to knock down the bubbles anyway though since the rust will be on 'both' sides of the metal now. Based on where the rust is I bet if you drop the rear bumper and take a look up into the kind of "L-shaped" bracket that holds the bumper to the quarter, it should be pretty obvious where the trouble areas are without having to pick at anything.

kastein posted:I'm a fan of mall parking garages. When I was still living in Worcester, a friend and I usually used the back corner of the Greendale Mall's parking structure, because there was even an electrical outlet that would run an angle grinder! The local mall has a heated underground parking garage that's relatively well lit, and an awkward back corner that security has to walk very far from the main building to reach. I'm not gonna lie, I've done some minor services in that parking garage when I lived in a condo.
