Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 9 refurbish

[Error404]

Jesus! That is awful!

I don't rate POR15 anymore, it is not the wonder product it claims to be, I used it a lot. I refreshed some suspension parts all at the same time, some using POR15, some with powdercoat and some with 2k colour. They all looked the same after 5 years - rusty patches on them all!

Trouble with rust in body seams is getting it out - only chemical dip works really.

Por 15 needs chemical treatment prior to paint.So it is a good thing.The paint itself seems the best one i ever used due to it's glass look,so water will not get under it.
Anyway,i like to get tons of wax on the parts so i think blasted parts with no paint will be ok

Rubber sealant removal now

[Error404]

Why did they only under seal half the car? They left all the seams around the rear subframe completely unprotected

Its like they designed it to rust away

A message from my car:

[pasbogdan]

Shiny after blasting.Now it seems to be brown?
More work,less talking.

Off topic: pictures with another made in Japan car, a Honda CRV.
Car was bought brand new from the dealership in Romania in 2007.

Even more rust

[Greg_S]

Ive always heard that Japanese cars have a bad rep for not being well undersealed and protected, but didnt realise it was this bad.

Although we do have a sand blasting machine, we also have por 15, we have decided to sand blast some suspension parts and powder coat them somewhere else.
We simply don't have enough time. We worked hard on opening our paint shop
Anyway, see here some parts from 3 on going projects
The wheels of the evo will be done as well but forgot to take a picture of them.

This is lot number 1. Lot number 2 will have even more parts than this one Crazy, no?

I asked the guy from the sand blasting shop to also spray as top coat a layer of lacquer (which normally is sprayed as top coat on rims to be shiny) as more rust protection. I wonder if it's worth it

[bartolomeus]

Some updates on the chassis.

[prj]

Well too bad it's in bits, as I could've mapped it when I'm over for new year

[pasbogdan]

Paint booth ready for use.Tested PPG products.Nice result
3M full face respirator is the best thing i ever taught i will use.So much difference compared to half respirator.
Snp10 cq project and Bartolomeus evo next on "to do".

[bartolomeus]

Finally some update on this forgotten project.
We have sandblasted the underbody and put it in the paint room and start heating it up to 60 degrees C so the water will evaporate.
On Monday epoxy primer + Audi style anti rust preparation
Yuhuuu!!!!
