I want to get the Omni on the raod, finally. I'm getting her registered today as a classic, easy enough. But it needs inspection.
The problem: smallish rust holes in the floor beneath the driver seat.
They aren't large, but I've been told the car will not pass inspection with any kind of hole forming. I was thinking of banging out the rust with a hammer, filling the hole with body filler and spraying the floor pan with some black body paint.
Think this is good enough to hide the rust/hole. I was planning on spraying as much of the underside as possible. If questioned I'd tell the mechanic that there was rust forming and that I sprayed it with rust protector then paint...good idea? bad idea?
Other than that it needs a new wheel cylinder, which I have.
