So i cleaned up the bar and sanded it all down with 800grit paper. I then sprayed it black. I then sprayed the floor of the car with under coating but after it had dried every time i hit it with something it would chip or peel up so i sprayed bed liner over it and it came out a lot better looking. ![http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u61/civicclutchh22/r1.jpg](http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u61/civicclutchh22/r1.jpg) ![http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u61/civicclutchh22/r2.jpg](http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u61/civicclutchh22/r2.jpg) ![http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u61/civicclutchh22/r3.jpg](http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u61/civicclutchh22/r3.jpg) So as i was waiting for all that to dry i was bored i took the head liner out,and decided to repaint that. I painted it before but i didn’t do any prep work to it so it started chipping. So this time i used scotch bright to scruff it up, and get the chipping paint up. I then sprayed it with adhesion promoter then painted it. ![http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u61/civicclutchh22/h1.jpg](http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u61/civicclutchh22/h1.jpg) ![http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u61/civicclutchh22/h2.jpg](http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u61/civicclutchh22/h2.jpg) ---

So i got back to work tonight on the car. I took a pretty long break and just got other work done around the house to get that out of the way. I ordered new front fenders today seeing my were crinkled so those should be in soon. Then I started to figure out where i needed to cut the rust out on the passanger side of the car. After Looking and feeling around for a while me and my friend figured out where it had to be cut. ![http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk198/snowbro2383/pside1.jpg](http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk198/snowbro2383/pside1.jpg) ![http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk198/snowbro2383/pside2.jpg](http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk198/snowbro2383/pside2.jpg) I cut out all that was needed to totally get the rust out. So heres the pile of what used to be my car before rust took over. ![http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk198/snowbro2383/pside3.jpg](http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk198/snowbro2383/pside3.jpg) then just the cut hole on the upper sections ![http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk198/snowbro2383/pside4.jpg](http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk198/snowbro2383/pside4.jpg) ---

Honestly i do.I mean its really tight, and I’m a kinda big kid (6’2 215) and i was hardcore yanking on it to try and rip it out, and it wasn’t budging at all. I was literally trying to break it. I would like to take it to somewhere to have it inspected but I’m not sure where to go to. ---

I was literally trying to break it. I would like to take it to somewhere to have it inspected but I’m not sure where to go to. let me see if I can find some places for you. A car with a cage is typically a lot more hazardous in an accident than one without. Especially if the welds aren’t right. ---
