Since I'll be interchanging my focus between my 1987 MR2 and my 1991 323,

I read this and actually thought "poo poo now he's got a Focus?!"

Hehehe. Looks like fun. Also looks like something finishable without too much pain.

"Get someone to assist with removing the door." Okie dokie.


You realize now that the chair is your official assistant, you have to name it, right? "Al" or something.

Why'd you recess them again? They're going to be more like spotlights that way. Was it just for over head clearance?

Hey congratulations on the mini-sock! Enjoy the help in the garage, I'm afraid my girl is succumbing to stereotypes and is slowing down on the car help. Best wishes for happiness, health, and beefy breaker-bar pulling forearms.

(sorry for the poo poo pictures, but the wife's pretty clear about what will happen if I get paint - especially por-15 - all over the camera)

I dare you to get it on your dick and report her reaction.

DARE YOU.

Not a bad idea at all. You certainly won't remove a significant amount of steel by hand even if you use really agressive stuff. I personally use emery cloth, that red fabric ribbon with like 150 or 220 grit. You can saw it back and forth and it cleans up a surface like that really nice, without removing a measurable amount of material.

Someone tried to photoshop a rusty sock before an it looked like a poop-sock. :v:


That was me, I was so dejected as it was immediately, universally reviled. Absolutely nobody thought it was a good idea. I have since learned to trust the collective.

How many Volvo forums do you frequent, again?

Three plus the occasional fourth and fifth from external links. Most of them pretending to be perfectly straight. Swedespeed has a thing about dropping pics of Kate Beckinsale into any thread that goes too uncomfortable.

My place is like that too, the perimeter is either underground or insulated so the crawlspace is technically heated. In my case it's actually heated because the furnace is down there.

I love the AGM battery I got for my wagon, I had starting problems last winter, got new battery, this winter -10(F) doesn't even make it flinch.

For mine they gave me the valium intravenously, it hit me like a truck and I couldn't stop laughing. The doc was like "you might want to sit still for this" which made me laugh even more.

Do what they say, and stay on the couch. Don't try to get up and do things or your recovery will take 3x as long. My boss actually flew his plane the day after his, and he was in pain for weeks. I was back to 100% in 8 days after mine, because I couched it with ice for the weekend. Stay down.

Wuss. I'd do it annually if I had to.



90% of modern birth control is dumped on women. When you take one for the team in such a permanent way they tend to get... really appreciative. Seriously, you're in for a treat there Sockman.

I'm becoming a cider fan too, I was in Minneapolis for a convention last fall and all the bars there had Crispin on tap, served in a chilled glass. I highly recommend it, it's incredibly light and smooth and I got completely ripped before I knew what was happening.

They talked about it like it was local but their website has a contact address in california. Hrm.

A bit surprised you don't run zinc plated rotors up there. I don't live in rust country but the set on my wagon are almost 3 years and 30k miles old now and they still look really nice. Plus since it's plating it gets in to the vents and keeps it all corrosion free. I will always use them from now on.

Sorry, wasn't trying to bust your nads or anything, I just figured they'd do something. But yeah no matter how you guys keep describing and showing us the corrosion, there's still a tendency for some of us to believe we can help somehow. heh.
