88lx 5.0 t-bird Maandy´s restoration Reply #62 – December 20, 2009, 04:25:05 AM thanks, I have been thinking the same thing about rust. I have been looking other restorations in this forum and looks like others have had much more work to do. When you could see my bird with your own eye then actually it looks even better then photos.So it christmas time and I don´t think I will do some progress in this year with the car. Quote Selected

There is nobody in Estonia who sells POR15 but our neighbors Finlands have. So I´ll be looking how can I get the staff here. Is there some other products from this POR15 what should I use?

Before you put the passenger side fender back on, you should take off that air intake silencer. The car breaths so much better without it, the engine sounds great without it too!! Welcome to the forum!Is he talking about the black box around the air cleaner? How does one remove it without letting the air filer flop around? Quote Selected

Is there some other products from this POR15 what should I use?I use Picklex-20 and Zero-Rust myself. I order it on the web, and it gets delivered to my door. I don't usually have time for shopping for products and materials. The ZR is easier to use then the POR too. Quote Selected
