During the summer holidays, we stripped the interior from the dashboard to the trunk; now it’s time to finish the job. Although I’m already in Poznań, Tomek is still working on it. The condition is actually very good, no holes or deep rust pitting.

The method is exactly the same as for the undercarriage: stripping, sanding, and using the chemicals. The only difference is that instead of Cobra, Tomek is applying 02C paint as the final layer.

A few pictures showing the progress; stripping:

You’ll notice that the primer was applied with a brush, we did it this way on purpose because the spray gun causes too much splatter, and we wanted to protect the interior from stains.

02C coat of paint:

And a little more wax. The wax in the cavities feels so good!

A bunch of before/during/after of individual areas:

• Water drainage in the trunk:

• Under the front seats:

• A weld on the right strut tower, which surprised me a bit because from the outside, this area looked fine, but on the inside, where the seam is, rust had already started to form:

• Impreza
• Gd
• Sti
