I got a few hours of much needed garage time today. The torque box reinforcements bolted and welded in and there were no fires in the the process
I'm starting to figure out this flux machine, finally. I should disclose that I am a fair welder at best. I'm self taught but have quite a bit of experience on nicer machines. Even though these welds a satisfactory for me; I have done better ones consistently in the past. While I was there I welded the two small cracks in the floor and the rear seat back support.
After that I got a lot of my interior painted using LMR crystal blue. I mostly did light coats just to freshen it up. I should've taken some before pics. All the panels were different colors of blue. I'm excited to see how this interior comes together. Dash corners, dash pad, center console, cup holders, glove box, and panel under the steering wheel done. I don't think I'm going to do the kick panels or sill plates as they are high wear items. Undecided about the rear panels.
Yes, my house reeks of spray paint now. Yes, my GF wasn't happy. Atleast my new HF respirator worked well.
OH.. almost forgot. This came in:
I laid it on the old carpet and it looks like it'll fit well. I went with the mass backed version. I also decided to try the noico 80mil sound deadener. It'll be here Monday. As will my order from Maximum Motorsports. Those two shipments are the last pieces of the puzzle. Idk what I'll do after that... I've already blown the winter budget
