EGGselent job. I like what you did with the green padding better than the black tarry stuff. Never had my seat out to look, but doesn't sound good.

black body protection stuff, is that a real product, or just black rust paint?  Very nice work so far!  Can't wait to see the final product.

First I painted twice with black rust paint and after that I sprayed almost three spray bottles of rust protection... I hope that this is enough to keep rust away.

Here is a new hatch from my "flying Eagle". Old one has rust so it is easier to paint this one...

Let the sunshine in...

The last of rustholes...

I don´t know why there is so much dirt in this Eagle, but I started cleaning today... Just a little bit of rubbing compound and TLC...


http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y228/JuhaP/eagle/006.jpg

Unfortunately there were rust spots, so I needed to spray some brown paint. And more rubbing compound...

And here you are!

Compare this to the first pic... Some change!
