    Passenger side lock won't go down?

    Yup sounds like the actuator. It is at the bottom of the door under the latch. You can take it out and lube the screw up with a good penatrant and if you get it freed up then lube it with white lithium and reinstall or else get a new one.

    LOL, Now THIS is rustproofing

    Dust? Dirt? I wouldn't be suprised if there were small animals stuck to the bottom of that car. Some people working on cars are just plain scary.... The funniest part is that you actually spent time on a project like that..

    So, I compounded.... And...

    You need a good high speed poisher. Get the hook and loop with a 3m pad and use 3m perfect it 2 rubbing compound then use 3m machine glaze then finish with a wax of your choice, I use race glaze. You need a polisher that has a higher speed to really get a smooth fine finish.

    Started body work--A few questions

    Cut and weld in new sheet metal. 22 gauge will work well. Also then grind the weld down and apply a coat of body filler. Then sand it straight. You can get sheet metal at any metal shop. Look it up in your local phone book.

    Painting Questions

    Use a bc/cc in the engine bay. Its way to confined and cluttered to worry about seeing ripples or imperfections. You would have to add a flatening adjent to a single stage to get an eggshell finsh. Semi gloss or flat would look weird. PPG is good Basf is very good, dupont is good also. Most big...

    help quick! how do i take my rear seat out?

    You have to push the lower half hard towards the back of the car. There is two hooks that hold it in place. One on each side. Push back and lift it up. Then do the same on the other side.
