[QUOTE="Terrorist 5.0, post: 1553438, member: 30689"] Today I began grinding down one side of the trunk floor. First, I removed the rest of the sound deadening around the noisy fuel pump. Then, using a drill with a metal brush attachment, I spent about 2 hours grinding until all visible rust was gone. I paid close attention to any holes, specifically the fuel pump wiring hole. Once it was all grinded down, I quickly went over it with some 180 grit. I cleaned it all off with brake clean and laid down two coats of primer, and a singular coat of paint. Looking around, I found some other small areas that could use a touch up, including the trunk edges, which I will take care of tomorrow, along with the other side of the trunk. This will not be perfect, but should prolong the life of the sheet metal for quite a while. On the underside, it all looks decent. I have decided against removing the sound deadening in the spare tire well, but I had already sprayed it down, so I am going to blow dry it at another time. [/QUOTE]
