Well, I stripped the interior of my 'vert yesterday. Some of you may remember when I bought the car that the seats were rusted and junk. Well, I removed the seats yesterday. The rails were so rusted that they basically broke right off and out of the car.

When I tried to remove the bolts, one snapped off, so I'm assuming I'll need to drill it out of the holes. The other ones are rounded off, and I can't get them out. Any ideas how to do it? They've been soaking in PB Blaster for the last 24 hours or so, and I was thinking of trying to cut a notch in the bolts with my Dremel to be able to use a flat head screwdriver on them... Any other ideas?

 

that'll work!

 

not 100% sure but that won't work you'll have the same problem probly

arent these cars a bitch? lol im trying to remove my turbo right now

drilling/center punch is ur friend here

 

Yeah, it looks like I have to drill them out, then probably run bolts through instead or something.

Yes, these cars are a bitch. My floor is rusted through in a couple spots, so it looks like I'll have to have some sheet metal welded in. At least it's not structural.

 

I drilled into them and knocked them out with a hammer. Looks like I will be drilling bigger holes and running bolts out from the inside... Either that, or I will have to have the panels cut out and have new ones welded in.

What a clusterfuck.

 

i had to remove the exhaust and cut them out from bleow on my parts car, rust rust rust, i will never buy a car from the east again. (both my other cars are from dry states that dont salt roads, they are VERY clean)

 

yeah I wish I would of done that now im just totaly fucked with a **** for a shell but rust lol. im taking the motor out and getting rid of it to get another CLEAN shell from the south or out west cuz this ***** rediculous. was going to restore it but it's far to bad and just not worth it. btw that targa top is sweet. did you do that yourself?

 

no i didnt, and it might get welded back up, POS it is.

 

this is why my seven, in its 20 years, has never seen snow


my saab on the other hand its more rust than steel

 

craftsman makes a rounded bolt removal set. i have it. its a lifesaver! you pound the "socket" from the set onto the rounded bolt, put a wrench or ratchet over the tool and turn it out like normal. the tool cuts into the bolt head as you turn and it will not slip off. amazing little guys
