[Japanese Metal is to suck]

I tried to unbolt my seat to dry it off, as I left my sunroof popped a bit like an idiot last night and it rained (I was drunk and forgot to shut it before I went to bed) and I find that instead of the last bolt coming out, it wanted to take a chunk of metal with it instead. So i had to pry it off with a hammer.

Gone Fishin'

(Self Explanatoy) I want to take a sledge hammer to it SO bad

All I got left is my rust free 90 automatic CRX in the process of a 5speed swap.

At least I know that I'm not the only one that had the bottom ripped out of seat mount. My car had NO rust there at all. I'm a cheap bastard so I just drilled into the floor and used a huge washer and lock nut. I'm going to get a new piece from honda once she leaves the garage and have it welded in.

Re: (Shirk)

yea If I remove that lining, im pretty positive it will all fall apart, it would be a different story if there was some metal there.

Re: [Japanese Metal is to suck] (B16Bomber)

My rust problem is just as bad... if not worse.

On a rainy day, the puddles of water would come shooting through my carpet and splash me in my face... yes the floor has a rusted hole about the size of a football.

I can't find myself a clean not-rusted EF body, so this summer, I'm going to rebuild this hatch from scratch. New metal, new paint, new everything.
