Archie Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Definitely loving the 6MT. There's a few blemishes keeping it from being a great car, maybe some of the experts can help out... AC/Heat/Vent does not blow air... possibly a blower motor?? Head liner was sagging/eventually ripped down by rednecks. Paint is beyond oxidation, no rust, but BAD oxidation. I plan on repainting the whole car, obviously, but I would like a short term fix to hide the "white" oxidation from the paint. Dash is cracked, the left half of the stereo doesn't work, and I may need some new headlights. Other than that the car is completely mechanically sound. If any of you guys know of tech articles, websites, or cheap places to get parts, I would greatly appreciate the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Congrats on the new car. How many miles are on it if i may ask? There are a lot of people w/ F-body cars that should be able to get you a lot of info! Try washing the car, let it dry and waxing it. My truck was super oxidized when i bought it and it rubbed out really well. A coat of wax works wonders. Don't run to paint before trying to wax it once!!

koolrayz Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 3M handglaze will do wonders for the oxidation. Be ready to work your ass off but it will work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 If its white its not oxidation its delamination. Would have to see pics to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 sooo... you can only adjust the treble and bass but not the volume? what? Only the speakers on the right side of the car are producing sound... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you try running the fan and it blows another fuse, then the fan has probably seized up or the motor is shot. Happened on my Jeep a couple years ago. And I feel you on the paint oxidation problem. My Miata has it bad on the front bumper, and it's too the point where I can't even polish it out because it's just taking the little paint that is there off the bumper. But try some rubbing compound on the oxidized parts, then wax it. Repeat until satisfied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
