Hmmm, might be onto something with the wheel flares if the rust is isolated to the arches.

It would be kinda cool yes but I'll just fix it with por 15 and paint from paint stratch. Eventually after I finish the celica the Porsche and get my school debt paid off I'll fix it and mod it to be what I want. Another reason I don't want to resell is the previous owner had the top end of the motor rebuilt. The ej22 is bullet proof do with that it'll last me for a long long time.

Sorry, had to.
 I need to get around to fully detailing the Firebird but it's just been too hot, too busy with other car crap, or it rains.

QUOTE (1994Celica @ Jul 13, 2016 - 10:17 AM) QUOTE (njccmd2002 @ Jul 13, 2016 - 7:35 AM) Time to trade for something not rusted. Once rusted through the car looses more value like a spiral down I don't care at all about values or what I could sell it for. I love the car and want to keep it for a long period of time. I've got plenty of plans for it. I'll fix the rust cheaply as I can to hold me over till I can afford to do it properly. Plus even if I did sell it there's not much in the price range that tickles my fancy besides another outback sport. It does not matter what you want.

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

The light on your phone isn't 1,000 lumens either.
I should buy a pair to mount into my bumper.

Saw a white and then shortly after a red NA Miata today, the white one I saw going down the road but the red one pulled in after I did at the fuel station. I forgot how tiny they are, which in a way is funny if you've ever seen one next to an old Lotus Elan. One of these days I'll get another as I think it'd compliment the Firebird nicely and round out the RWD fun factor thing.

People who are saying Collinite 476 is hard to remove are just putting it on WAY too thick. I found a properly thin layer was no problem to remove and came off easily, so I put on a too thick layer to see what the bitching is about and yea, it's hard to take off when thick but no harder than another other carnuba.

It's amazing what happens when you follow instructions/know what you're doing. It always amuses me when all the bad reviews on a product are from user error.

I think you might have an addiction to car care products.

I just want to find the best. Rejex sounds great but some say it's over hyped and doesn't last like they claim. I like how it sheets water in videos so there's no spots and it's made to be safe for all surfaces including glass, supposedly nothing sticks to it not even dirt and bugs, just a blast with a hose and the car is clean again...which would be awesome.

Ye I'm the same way, so I know how you feel. Based off Amazon and AutoGeek it's rated really well, so I guess it'd be worth a shot.

It would be. I'll try it eventually, its in my Amazon cart. Maybe after I get the rust bubble fixed on my Mazda I'll clay it real good for winter and do a coat of Rejex and a coat of 476 over it? I'll have to research that combo.
