Thread: 1971 Camaro RS

Well you guys jinxed me....... Now another house project is going to kill my project progress.

My wife noticed a brownish looking residue by the back wall behind the toilet in our down stairs bath room on Monday. I went in there and moved the garbage can we keep in there and didn't see anything. When I moved the bulk toilet paper container I saw what she saw. I was kneeling down on the floor at this point. I happened to look next to the toilet and I saw a water bubble peaking out. I then realized the toilet was leaking.

I ripped it off and now I am replacing some dry wall, and ditching the 2 layers of laminate. The foam soaked the water up so that must be why we weren't seeing the water. Just what I wanted to do.

I have been able to get some camaro stuff done though at wee hours of the night and morning. I decided I wasn't going to paint the car now for a while. Hmmm, what to do with the areas some idiot decided to fix the body work on. I decided I would try my hand at fake patina. For now I'm leaving the car as a weathered old car. Commonly referred to as a ratty muscle car now. I just know if I go to paint this car how it will be. I'd rather not go down that rabbit hole until after the 40 is done. I've put that car off far too long.

I fixed some spots on the LH fender, and the LH quarter panel. You can see the filler on the rear quarter in the 3rd pic. I still have some blending to do. What do you think?
