Yes, this is a work in progress... but here's some pics of the 5 spots of rust bubbles I'm fixing.

Driver's side of the hatch!

Looks like a good start except the extra overspray on moldings and windows.

Good thing you got that flake of paint missing before I started rusting bad.

Also looks like you need to do some work around the antenna hole

hey, you're right about the antenna. No biggie, I'm gonna go to a power antenna instead (not for coolness, though. Less drag when racing! )

Perhaps... but the hole is already there, and blah blah blah.

I'll leave it there. I kinda like it there... if I was gonna go through the trouble of removing the whole setup there, and changing it, I'd go to a windshield antenna setup. No big things sticking up!!

Looks good! Just remember that spray primer isn't waterproof, and you might be getting rust underneath if it's rained on the car...

Where exactly did you mount it in the hatch. I never use the radio, so I don't see a need for my antenna. I can't see it unless I focuss in on it. I would like that part of the fender to be like the other one for symetrical purposes.
