While not strictly necessary, I find that a POR-15 repair lasts longer if the rust is completely removed with multiple applications of naval jelly. Over a period of 1-2 days, the rust can be completely dissolved giving you a nice rust free, pickled surface which is optimal for POR-15 adhesion.

Re: [MBZ] 1985 300TD on BAT

There is something icky about it. Paint over everything doesn’t help. The left lower quarter appears to have had a rust repair but the contours were done wrong-too squared off. This is a common way to fix rust by amateurs with no real metal fab skills. Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 5, 2019, at

[MBZ] Upholstering Seats

I’m thinking of tackling complete seat upholstery on my 73 BMW 2002. I don’t mean just buying the seat covers but sewing them up in leather. I’ve never done such a thing but I’ve watched loads of YouTube videos. I have an industrial walking foot machine and I’ve done carpet binding on the same
