big update.
had the underside of the car treated with Fluid Film three years ago, but the guy did a horrible job. I just redid the wells myself.
look at the rust.
covered the wheel:
final result :
2 coats of ACTION stop rust (dutch product)
1 thick coat of Rustoleum (Combi Color is the Dutch version)
1 thick coat of Brantho Korrux
also painted the core support with some paint I had left over from the wheel wells.
then I wanted to swap the weatherstrips of the cargodoors, but saw the rear cargo floor was all wet
so stripped it all out
bubbles?
bubbles everywhere? is this rust?
so sanded it and checked what was undeneath
thank god no rust, just bubbles in the paint.
nice thick coat of Rustoleum
painted the side of the doors and put the new weatherstrips on.
@#$@#%$W#R# and yes, doors wont close anymore with new strips...took a lot of adjusting the door hinges but now its pretty fine and have to push a little to close them
ordered 10 m2 of Alubutyl in Germany

and applied it to the floor.
then started looking for a affordable rubber flor for the dogs
found it at a local place in The Hague

cut it to shape with the wheel wells
et voila, a nice rubber floor.
car started wors and wors recently and seemed like either bad batterys of alternator.
had the batteries checked and they both were bad. took two out and placed only one back. I dont need the accesoiry battery since I dont haul trailers. had to do some rewiring.
but still had a bad loading voltage. did some readin and research and seemed like my field connection wasnt connected. The qire was on the alt, but stopped behind the dash.
I remebered I had insulated a hard brown wire under the dash three years ago, because I didnt know what it was for. seems this is the resistance wire for the alternator. reconnected it and the charge voltage is back to allmost 14V now.
was a mess in the front of the car during my search for the charge problem, hahaha
had the shortblock I got this summer bored to 4.030 and honed. and picked it up again
