That's exp. as! Would be heaps cheaper and worthwhile to work on it yourself? Maybe that's just me, but thanks for the tip tho. Gathering things needed for the repairs too, still missing a grinder :/

Oh, and do have mixed feelings about fiber-reinforced body filler? (3M makes good ones) Suggestions welcome

That would be me since I live just down the road though I'm not really sure about the tidiness - hasn't been washed for couple weeks

Stripping the whole area back would take a piss of a job, since it's a daily I couldn't do much than putting things back in a day But yes, will cut out the rust and do you know where I can get sheet metal for a bargain? I'm more inclined on cutting the rust to stop it then fibreglass it?

I assume the rubber boot area's the same story :| because I poured water around the area as well and got the same results as I did with the battery tray area...

Carpet winning eh bro haha

Niiiiice ride, our CEO drives one of these and always a good car to have and to look at in our office basement

No biggie, found rusted-through hole behind the firewall on the battery tray area...

After the heavy rain this morning (knew there was because there's a pool inside the car so did a full-scale dig while doing the surface rusts and found this: That was on the driver's side where the battery tray is, poured water around the area and indeed water was trickling down - there's another one on the passenger side where the fuse box is (don't really know how to take out the fuse box) but water-tested there as well and same results. Hopefully the next few days should be prime for fibreglass-ing and silicone-ing...

Nopes, wasn't me. Ah I see, thanks

Would it fit into the e30 or I'll have to do some wonders with the railing?

Just another update. There's been a leak, the same area a few days ago... so is there anyone (apart from suggesting opening the heater area etc) can help with this? I've done all the HVAC drainage clean-ups and all that stuff, but there's quite an amount of water on the passenger side (not coolant, it's just water). If no one knows what's going on then I might proceed with taking the whole dash out and look for the whole problem... it's gonna take a piss of a job to get that done

Looks like you cut the carpet like I did? Lol

Took the car up Martin's Bay for the first time to "test" it's roadtrip-worthy-ness. It held up pretty well, except now all I want now is a manual conversion done

Went for a park near Mt Eden shops this morning, misjudged the kerbs and accidentally broke a part of the front lip off. Luckily had tape in the car so did a 5min DIY repair on the spot. Held up the whole day today. Time for a new lip

Still on? Broke my lip this arvo - keen for a new one

Thanks mate, nopes - the car hasn't done much long distances yet since I've been busy with work Certainly don't surf too haha

Gave the vehicle a wash this arvo when it was all sunny - just in time for the storm in the next few days :| but otherwise

Gave the Eferty a good wash before the storm arrives :|

Yeah, will look into that this weekend thanks will keep everyone updated

Steering snapped up or?

Yeah unfortunately those are reps, but hey... haha

Thanks, yeah it probably has been leaking since many moons ago. Hopefully what I've fixed is what is to be fixed :| Yeah, missing a pedal hopefully one will take that place over the summer!

So basically, after all the carpet's gone out I'm left with these on the driver's side: Took a bit of time brushing off the surface rust with wire brushes and some sanding off too: Homemade fluorescent tube lighting in place : lol : After that, applied some rust converter on and was letting it set while I moved on to check behind the firewall: Found some evidence of water pooling as such and blew the area with compressed air clean before pulling out the drainage tube - the tube was filled with literally mud and some bits and pieces of leaves and what not which clearly would be the main culprit. Also cut the end of the tube to make a larger hole also to prevent buildup in the future and for consistency of drainage. After the floor's dried up, zinc'ed the rust and was all set for now
