Before cleaning commenced

[Sean_Julian]

 

Washed the interior down

[Sean_Julian]

 

So I removed the petrol filler cap and the boot release popper from the base before painting.

 

I applied a layer of grey rust preventing primer. Soon to be sprayed over with a white base coat of primer then finally top it off with a top coat of a gloss white finish, to match the rest of the car.

 

This is only the drivers side, I still have the passenger side and the rear seat housing to clean up, and spray.

 

So far so good!

[Sean_Julian]

Quick update.

 

So the car (drivers side) floor pan is now a matte white with a gloss topcoat to finish.

 

 

That's today done, as the footie is now on!

[Sean_Julian]

Gloss white top coat still to come*

[Sean_Julian]

 

Boot / petrol filler cap release.. Re connected and bolted on.

Good luck with this its one hell of a project but fair play to you for taking it on hope you see it through

[Sean_Julian]

Thanks mate! I am definitely seeing this through! Love a project and this will keep me busy for a hell of a time!

[Sean_Julian]

So yesterday I started on the passenger side of the car flooring, which looks a lot better than it previously did that's for sure!

[Sean_Julian]

So firstly I washed it down ( first & second pictures) and then once washed I then sprayed grey rust preventing primer over the floor pan obviously to prevent future rust. (3rd, 4th pictures)

[Sean_Julian]

Then sprayed white primer over the top. I wanted it the same colour as the car so I was going to spray it artic white the same as the car but then, as its only the floor pan and it's going under the carpet and sound deadening foam I may just leave it as a matte white.

 

[Sean_Julian]

Today I re installed the glove box as the latch was broken, now I have a working glove box.

[MRX]

Wow this looks like a mission mate! good luck, looking forward to following your progress

[Sean_Julian]

Haha cheers mate! I can only really update and make progress on the car on the weekends because of work! But atleast I have long weekend on the car! Next thing I'm wanting to do is to buy some sound deadening foam to place on the floor pan to go under the carpet.

[kevin smith]

Good luck with the project, keep the pictures coming.

[Sean_Julian]

Pictures will be updated weekly with progress every weekend

[evinX]

If i was you, id get the front end jigged and panels put on as its the most important thing to do. I feel your fiddling around doing last jobs first dude

[Sean_Julian]

Ahh no I have already ordered the wings, headlights, bonnet and front bumper. So when I get it jigged out they will put these parts on for me to make sure it's all straight so just keeping myself busy untill they arrive

Jheeze you got your work cut out with this! I've seen it parked up at Keron's yard in a state.

 

Looks like you're making good progress already, good luck buddy!

Once this had been on the jig and had the welding work done itll be plain sailing from there, ive seen worse supras repaired, stupidly worse supra repaired :/

[ripped_fear]

Good work but I think your mad to be touching it and especially doing paint work untill its straightened!

[Sean_Julian]

Hmm the only thing I have painted is the interior floor pan ready for carpets etc. So getting the car straightened isn't going to be an issue and it's NOT going to cost me an arm and a leg to get it jigged neither

[Sean_Julian]

Once this had been on the jig and had the welding work done itll be plain sailing from there, ive seen worse supras repaired, stupidly worse supra repaired :/

 

Yeah it will be plain sailing once I get it jigged and welded etc. Then I will be able to have the perfect exterior.. Will be nice to look at! Just won't be drive able for a while haha

Yeah it was such a bad state from when I brought it! But saying that rolling shells I have seen selling for £5000! granted it had interior and exterior, but I would rather have the satisfaction of building the car up myself, and it is cheaper to get a perfect rolling shell the way I have done, than to buy one already in perfect condition.

 

But so far so good! [emoji16] may also connect the spoiler this weekend to! Gradually start putting panels and parts back onto the car and clean the engine bay up abit before it goes in for a jig!
