Coleboy Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Well having owned it for for a while now i thought it was about time for some love. Its not gonna be a power build or full rebuild just a nice bit of paint and make it a nice car to drive and look at. (i hope) Started today by removing the super body kit which i no most of you love........yep! Really pleased to find very little rust and how straight the car really is when all the plastic was removed. Gonna start by trying to get the seems straighter and dealing with the rust under the car, Few pics from today. How she started the day "][/url] opps Quick test fit. Only real damage i can find. End of day look, back to it Monday....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coleboy Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Few more bits done today, the small amount of rust was my main plan today, "][/url] Quick grind off. Penty of rust killer just to help, Removed the old heat shields Small bit of damage on the top of the sill Slide hammer to pull most of it out, body shop can do the rest. Dog got fed up!! Tiny bit of rust on the rear wheel arch. Rear end nearly stripped. First coat of underseal on the treated areas. More to follow later......
