New toy!

[nathanjw]

A couple of weeks ago I got a new toy - a car! Now that I've driven it around a bit (including 1100 miles to Virginia and back), I've taken a few pictures and put them online.

I expect to be spending a lot of quality time with some sandpaper this summer.

!bondo

having read your webpage... I highly recommend against using Bondo. the annoying thing about bondo is that bondo absorbs water. this causes new rust to form under the bondo. what started as a small rust hole on Ecco that I put bondo over has turned into a large section of a rear wheel well that is all rusted out in only a couple of years. My new approach, which I have tried some of on Syren, is to use POR-15 to seal the rust and then Epoxy Putty to fill the holes, sold by Resto-Motive Laboratories (http://www.por15.com/). Probably more expensive that Bondo, but in my opinion well worth it. And epoxy-putty is so much easier to work with than Bondo because it takes longer to cure so you have greater working time and you can work it with your fingers.

A lot of the bullet points make it sound an awful lot like you bought a motorcycle (easy to park, good mileage, no stereo...) Happily, none of the rust on my Bandit is (I hope) more than cosmetic at this point. After I get it back from its tuneup I should apply some touch-up...
