[QUOTE="Terrorist 5.0, post: 1575340, member: 30689"] Hi everyone. After going through the next wave of repairs on my car (solved overcharging issue, clutch cable, rebuilt distributor, etc) I am pretty happy with it. I do however have some surface rust on the bottom. The car in general is in great shape rust wise except for the common front frame rail spot (which isn’t too bad at all yet, I’ve posted about it here a couple times), and some surface rust mostly in the rear. The black boxes behind the rear wheels have rusted through to the trunk but I have an easy fix for that I think. I plan on using a paint stripper wheel to get the undercarriage down to bare metal and paint it with some sort of NON RUBBERIZED undercoating, and apply fluid film on top of that once it dries, just for peace of mind. My main question is, what does everyone recommend for said paint? I know rubberized is not good, as it traps moisture. Also, removing the undercoating in the rear wheel wells is gonna be a pain. Suggestions? As for the rot in the trunk, it is a pretty small hole, about fist sized if even, and since it is in an area that is not visible (hidden behind rear bumper cover, I just plan on cutting it out and sealing it with paint. Yes, I am ok with a small hole in the wheel wells. I can block it off with something, but to do it properly is not exactly in the budget right now. Thanks everyone! [/QUOTE]
