Replaced my drivers side fender with a non rusted out one that I scored off someones parts car down here for 20 bucks! Also put full shadow trim on my car that I found at the junkyard, as well as a new glove box which I found on a different craigslist parts car. Started doing research on the e to i head swap with the i head and motronic ecu I snagged as well. ---

Gotta complete it and make it look better before I sell it man. I don’t want to sell it with half an interior and a mismatched/fucked up exterior if fixing it will help me get more for it. ---

supplies: washing soda (found at any grocery store) battery charger scrap steel water non conductive container 1. measure gallons of water (however many gallons you need to submerge) (i used 35gal) 2. for each gallon of water measure 1 TBSP of washing soda 3. connect (-) terminal to item you want to remove rust from (terminal clamp can be submerged) 4. connect positive to the scrap steel clamped to the side of the container or suspended in the water not touching the other item (surface area is key here, the more surface area the better, SHEET METAL) (i used a 2.5" exhaust pipe) 5. put the charger on trickle charge (2amp) and let it sit over night this guy explains it as he goes, check it out! he also says to use stainless steel, a bunch of other videos i have seen say not to use SS [ame][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8vT2mdXBs8[/ame]](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8vT2mdXBs8%5B/ame%5D) this guy uses power from a welder, this just shows how powerful it actually is [ame][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edsOkNf2VdE[/ame]](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edsOkNf2VdE%5B/ame%5D) \*make sure you dont care about the scrap steel, it will start corroding and pitting up starts out like this: ![http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a321/warriorspeed350/2012-03-01_21-05-12_642.jpg](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a321/warriorspeed350/2012-03-01_21-05-12_642.jpg) and ends up like this ![http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a321/warriorspeed350/2012-03-04_13-11-03_596.jpg](http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a321/warriorspeed350/2012-03-04_13-11-03_596.jpg) ---

hydrogen isnt flammable until it reaches 4% by volume, and becomes explosive at 8% fwiw… not that the chance is worth taking, but just some random trivia 🙂 ---
