Thread: Hippo's Car - Install List Added Pg.23

you pay a couple bucks each?? haha yea this is a great deal, high quality too. (for what they are)

Just ordered 4 R1 Eline Rotors (blanks) that come with 8 ceramic brake pads, and also ordered new brake shoes cuz mine are worn out. Total came out to be $183.19, pleased with that price!

Brake shoes? Didnt realize you had drums.

brake shoes for the e brake.

I fail

This hole is scarring me.




I'm gonna get rid of any rust that I can, fill it with bondo and prime it with rustoleum, then paint with red rustoleum.











Also just ordered black caliper paint.

Filling it with bondo isn't the way to go about it. All the rust needs removed/cut out and new metal welded in.

I don't have the time or money for that.

you know rustoleum doesn't get RID of rust?

grind it out to clean metal, prime with self etching primer, fill with fiberglass/bondo, sand, prime, paint, .. il tell ya from experience, that area will be FILLEd with rust.. just don't touch it.

Ok so take out as much of the rust as I can and fill it? What can i put in there to hold the bondo while like filling?

they have mesh for that stuff..

metal is best..


but you are gonna open a CAN of worms.

Well I mean I gotta do it right? I dont understand..

There is gonna be a lot more rust in there than you think. Could be your whole corner of your rocker is gone. I started tapping on mine with a screwdriver one day and ended up with about 2-3 pounds of my car laying on the ground.

I mean this hole literally just opened after this winter. It is solid as far as i can see, where there isn't paint bubbling.

poke really hard with your finger and see how big the hole gets.

what happen to your audio thread

yeah id imagine that the rockers are shot too.. DONT EVER take off the GT side skirts.. you'll never be able to get em on again probably lol
