POR'ed Floors

I'm really happy with the adhesion and final product after PORing the floorboards. With POR it's all about prep. It took me 2 hours to clean and prep the floors appropriately but there was no rust left after having used the recommended Marine Clean and Metal Prep. There was nothing but zinc phosphate left before I put on the coat and it adhered like crazy with very little runs. But again... I don't care. It ain't gonna be a show car... well... maybe local weekend shows just to hang with other car people. The only thing I wasn't able to get to was the areas under the seat pans... but I don't want to undo the factory welds just to get to them. And again... they didn't look bad at all under there.
Next is gonna be either finish the driver's quarter panel patch or sound deadener. Sound deadener is in the mail... but I haven't made up my mind which yet.

Trans Tunnel

Whatever the factory used to coat the floorboards, it did a fantastic job! The car had several years of sitting out by the beach in California with bad weatherstripping. The floors had gotten flooded multiple times. There was very little to clean up though. They were so solid and the original coating looked so new after I cleaned them up per the POR instructions that I just layed the POR right over it in the areas that didn't require stripping due to surface rust. That's why you can see the texture coming through the POR.

Rear Seat Pans

The rear floor pans came out great. They had the least amount of rust on them and the POR did a great job

Option 1

Decided to work on making my own backgraound for the blog. There is a severe lack of cool premade blog wallpapers. I'm leaning towards this one.

Option 2

This was my first attempt... well actually my first design. It went through about 100 attempts to get the size right for the screen.

Great Poster

Wanted to make this into the Blog background but the original image size was too small and would have ended up very grainy. Oh well. I'll just post it for posterity
