It's going on :banana: Two days ago started working on rear right wheel well. At the beggining it looked fine but it turned out to be imposed with a thick layer of fiberglass-resin. When I peeled it off huge amount of rusty holes showed up and ultimately I had to cut off probably like 60-70% total ...

Progress! It's not finished obviously but I will keep going day by day I'm a little proud of myself,
that's my first time making fender by my own hand!

Today I began working with rust :)

Started with this:

This freaking piece of concrete-resin-whatever-it-is came from mudguard. It weighed almost 2 pounds! :eek:

After 4 hours I came to this ...

I cleaned that black paint and i'm getting ready to stick some red foil on them. That's the only way to give them "restored" look

Yeah, but I'm worried mostly about subframe mounting point:



What I know is that whole car underneath went through rebuilding a couple years ago, but some of the untouched parts of chassiss rusted.

As I said, I went to check out how much work my SSE needs and I'm terrified of amount of work needed to get rid of rust I'm scared mainly about subframe mount, is it worth fixing?

Here is an album:

I have exactly the same problem. In my case when i drive on highway in overdrive gear the car runs smoothly, changes gear without question but sometimes when i'm going 80-90 mph it can change the gear to lower without notice or it doesn't go into overdrive mode when i'm accelerating to highway ...

So if a rear of the car sits lower than front it's the matter of leaky shocks rather than collapsed springs? When air compressor is running I can hear hissing noises from both rear sides of my car.


I didn't realize you were in Poland with my original reply. I will do some digging around to see if ...

Tommorow I will start uploading photos step by step of removing rust from body. But in a meanwhile here's my latest photo of the most stunning dashboard ever made

Please also be aware that the rear springs count on the load leveling.

That's a good point, I was not aware of this. I think that previous owner rode my car with leaking shocks (mostly air leaking too) and caused springs to slightly collapse. Back of the car is quite a lot lower than front. Is it ...

Hi, time has come to replace both of my rear shocks, they are frozing little below 25*F. Is it possible to convert self-leveling air suspension to a normal rear shocks without modifying anything (except dissasembling air hoses :P)?

I want to buy something like this:

Gentlemen, we did it!

Just don't look at the yellow words :D

What can I say, I'm a bit shocked, thank you all! :D

Dziękuję :D

Better part of the story is that i got her for like 750 bucks with new tyres and half of the tank
Still, she needs some repairs but that's nothing i can't do

I polished a little my old daily driver and couldn't resist to do some photoshoot, it's cellphone quality but i promise that someday I'll do better :)

(Soon it will hit 200k miles :banana: )

Is there any other option for disabling it than pressing "traction control" button? I didn't noticed any improvement when I turn it off by button, but i'll check that option once again.

It happened while driving from work, ABS pump went on and engine started to run on maybe 3 cylinders. When I hit that vibrating brake pedal the issue goes away and engine runs smooth.
The problem appears 2-3 times per 10 minutes of driving.

I tried pulling off ABS pump and ABS relay fuses, and ...

Double checked the harmonic balancer today and unfortunately it's ok. I made poor quality video, but you can clearly hear that knocking on idle, and like i said it's coming from the top center of engine, and goes away at about 2000 RPM.
Don't worry about not-so-nice engine smoothness, it's caused by ...

Thanks for fast response! Not exactly the same noise, but similar and it behave exactly like this!
I'll check if this knocking still occurs without belt

Edit: I have a major leak of oil under the harmonic balancer. What it could be caused by?

Hi. I recently bought my first Bonnie, it was love at first sight, but love as love it have some issues. The biggest one it's the tinny knocking sound coming from the top center of the engine (where the plastic intake manifold is) and only when engine is on idle. When I rev it to about 2000 RPM it ...
