    That's what we did with the grill on my brother's old VW, and painted it black. Actually turned out pretty well, but we had the frame

    It's alright, it was worth a shot and not the end of the world that he didn't want to.
    If there was anything left to attach it to... I thought about it.

    Going to do some maintenance and touch ups on the taco today as well hopefully. Replacing the serpentine for peace of mind since I don't know the last time it was done. 9968C6CB-EC2B-49F6-94DB-586A80CF757E.jpg2C9CCF89-086C-4E45-8CD8-E3C1B4CDB89A.jpg

    Going to do some overseeding in some areas today and let the upcoming snow work it it nicely.

    Well some exploratory deconstruction yielded these results. Any thoughts on next steps? There aren't any proper holes yet, so I'm open to ideas. 16371924-EDEA-40A2-92A1-ADB8542E5955.jpgB7AEDEF1-FBF5-4457-8998-3C0897B63EB7.jpg

    Sand, dry well, bondo concavities, sand again, and rustoleum?

    Makes me fearful of what's under my cover

    Where it's hidden behind the cover, I don't think I'd even go so far as bondo really. It's the spots that are showing outwards that I think I can sand and do the primer, paint, and clear. Got the super white paint.

    I would knock off the loose stuff and hit it with some POR15. You can avoid the mess of spaying and brush it on. Once it dries....button it up

    And you can paint over the POR15 if you wanted to hit with some Super White

    I will say he has tracked me down in other threads and told me fish were biting.
    I appreciate that...
