if you've already gotten into this mess with your legs, you shouldn't limit yourself to half measures - I decided
a good reason to remember all the past minor injuries, identify all the weak or rusty spots, fix everything that I couldn't reach before
along with repairing the damage, I'll eliminate all the rust (although there isn't much of it, more like a reddish coating), and I'm thinking about completely repainting the car
Hi guys.
I've been missing for a while, but it's not my fault.
Foreign websites are being blocked, unfortunately, en masse; I simply can't access them properly. But today, I can.
I'm sharing some news.
1. I picked up the Hippo from the auto repair shop. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a fight and argument. I couldn't wait any longer. Furthermore, the quality of the repairs has dropped significantly since key technicians quit. Overall, the repairs are complete, with just a few minor issues: paint runs, poorly adjusted doors, etc. The rear hatch is especially disappointing – the bastard didn't match the color, the difference is obvious, and now it needs repainting.
2. I handed the Hippo over to a rust-protection specialist. He removed the rust from the underbody and coated the underbelly with some kind of polymer. Now the Hippo has a black belly. Rust-proofing man gave a 3-year warranty.
Unfortunately, I accessed the site unexpectedly and wasn't prepared. I simply didn't have the pictures ready. But I'll definitely put it down later.
To date, the entire work has cost me about 2,000 USD. But since the renovation took a year and a half and payments were made gradually, it didn't hit my budget too hard.
There's some bad news, though. There will be additional costs to fix the paintwork flaws. I don't think it'll be that big.
Anyway, the saga continues.
