Default Took a "sick" day from work but I was very busy (Non-Honda content)

Well I took a sick day so I could get some quality time in on my project. I've been meaning to POR-15 my T-Tops, Floor panels, and trunk. Here are pics of my progress.

I started with the floors. Note: I had welded in replacement pans over the winter due to the originals being rotted to **** because of leaky T-Tops (my new pans already had some surface rust on them), then moved to the trunk, and then the T-Tops area.

Before:






After scuffing with scotchbite and using cleaning solvent:








While I was at it I decided to clean the edges of the trunk.

Before:




After:


Anyway, feel free to flame. Just keep in mind this is a 20-year old car and I'm doind alot of it myself and on a reasonable budget. Thanks for viewing. I'll have another update soon for those that care.
