Sleazy's Garage
The fenders have some surface rust, in this video we're grinding it down to some clean borders, full sand and wipe down, and giving them both three coats of rust reformer, 3 coats of UPOL oxford white paint, and 3 coats of POR-15 clear. Luckily most of the treated area will never be seen. This will do until we do the actual body work on the car, but time is running out!
I was supposed to work on the fenders but other things caught my attention. My ADHD is screaming again but in this video we install some wiring, 3d print a shifter knob so we can install an SVE short throw shifter, unpack the carpet, fix the rip in the front bumper, zip tie some wiring to the car etc. etc.
After many years of hand-wringing, complaining, sketchy window handling, and run channel molding hell, we finally get to sit in this car with doors on it while the engine is running! Huge milestone but it also means we don't have to do any more door-centric videos.
Finally just busting out the last bit of work on the passenger door. I really need to get these doors behind me.
In this video we're completely finishing the prep of the window surround in one video on the scrub side door. And we're attempting to replace the spark plugs but we hit a pretty bad problem.
We got a Wolfbox G930 rear-view mirror that uses cameras. Falutins are high and fangled's are new, not sure if this is gonna stick around tbh. Also getting started on the passenger door.
Like the title says, finishing the driver's door! Also the third mount brake light but that's a quick fix.
In this video we're cleaning up and installing the dashboard cluster shroud. Then we're riveting in the ground effects brackets. This and the next few videos might include a ton of different things, but its all stuff that has to get done for reassembly.
A couple of updates for the build and some clean-up of the rocker panels. This should protect them once the side skirts and ground effects are installed.
This was inside the car driving a bit to test the speedometer. Got up to about 15mph I think. This car is turning into a really well-mannered vehicle tbh. It's been over 25 years since this speedometer measured speed. Doors are coming soon! 😅
