I'm very close to finishing up the window frame rust repair. All rust was ground or cut out. Three spots needed a little MIG filling and one section needed a body patch. Any welding is complimented by cavity wax sprayed on the back side of the repair.

I'm using Zero Rust and you're supposed to be able to use it as primer but I'm only going to be using it in the window recess for the most part. It lays on thicker than I'm comfortable with on the exterior panel and I don't want to distort the filler work. The rear will be all Zero Rust covered mostly by the seal around the window. On the front I decided I'll paint Zero Rust on the shelf of the window recess, shoot primer/filler over the filler work then a base coat starting just below the front lip of the window recess. I'll get the windshield back in but keep the top molding out until I clear/blend into the 1/4ers. That's the plan anyway.

I ordered new suede for the headliner since the current has watermarks and separation. A and C pillars will be wrapped too. Possibly the Bs.

Other than spraying the primer and base up front, I just need to finish up the passenger bottom corner of the rear window frame.

^^^ That will be blocked and base coat shot over it.
