    Rustproofing time! I brought it in the shop last night to let it dry after a good washing and removed.......

    Wheels
    Door panels
    Rear hatch panel
    Front inner fender liners
    Front skid plate


    I then used RustAvert to spray anything metal except the exhaust. This is like a cavity wax and not like that crappy fluid film that washes off. I have no idea where the boss gets this stuff, but we use it on a fleet of semi-trailers and this stuff works!

    I also put the stock wheels/tires back on. Here are some pictures........

    Found a link to Rustavert.

    1. It looks like a re-branded product.
    2. It would be helpful to see the MSDS for this.

    Had a noise issue with the driver's power window when it hit the top or bottom of the door and it got worse. Member Fummins posted a thread about this on one of his cars and I decided to just investigate........

    Mullet, buddy...you shoulda let a Mitsu tech find this and let the factory buy you a new door! Seriously, though, great detective work. Your car must have been built late on a Friday, eh?

    I spotted the Space Peanut in Conneaut a couple weeks ago. Looking good.

    Awesome! There are like 3 Sapphire Blue Mirages in Conneaut, but mine is the only one with nice wheels.
