haha yeah i figure. I know for a fact one fender is going to be a ***** to get lined up.. it was bent when i bought it and I didnt feel like sending it back since i got it real cheap anyways.


Im going to spray it either here under a make shift booth, or at my buddies house who has an incredible garage.

good deal, always nice to have a nice closed space to paint instead of guess spraying outside
regarding the fender, trick is to have plenty of water and do it out of the sun or else you will loose your sanity trying to bend that ****er and get it into place and want to run it off a cliff, good luck

So I feel like i just kinda left this whole thing. I was going to sell my car...well I still am but Im going to keep on going with it until it sells. And yeah the price will go up accordingly. But I am finishing the body work/ primer. There were some spots I didnt care for really, So I am revisiting them. After this is done (which should only be a few days) Im going to talk to my neighbor about spraying it for me (my compressor wont handle it). Its going to be silver for now cuz I have the paint just hanging out. I will get pics here soon ; )

 « UPDATE


So the past 2 days Ive been gettin some things rolling on this again.
I finished up the body work for paint, cleaned it up, and got the bumpers remounted.


Im not going to be rocking aero (WC) but I do enjoy how the front bumper almost looks body kit-ish



Side boob


Butt even the rear bumper kinda has that aero-ish look to it without the side effects.

I woulda put that other piece on that goes under the tail lights... but i lost the bolts apperantly, along with the bolts for the lights up front..

But here she sits ready to be masked off and painted soon !

Keep in touch !

Ok so I keep debating on what is best to do: sell this or keep it. I do need the money right now, but i do want the car. Heres my train of thought: If I sell the car its no big deal, because when I can get another one Ill get me a real clean shell for around a grand and swap in a motor of my choice. And right now I am just not seeing this thing getting done on my dime..

So $700 as it sits.

Any word on this? I hope you kept it, I want more progress.

Nice job on the body work by the way, makes me want to fill my spoiler holes as well. I got to the spoiler before it rusted my hatch though.

useful thread

thank you.


and yes this thread is going to keep going. I still have the car. I am going to be fixing frame rust holes here soon.
The plans were to have it painted in which it would have been, but i decided to hold off because of a few things:
I am going to pull the motor clean it all up paint the engine bay and get it ready for the RB swap.
Im going to sand blast the car instead of just primering over the paint thats already there and this means the shaved body line is going to come back (which doesnt bother me) I have grown to not like it as much as I had originally so although it was a complete waste of time to get it all done, Im glad I didnt and found that I didnt like it than not have done it and wished I had.

My uncle has a sandblaster so as soon as I can get the abrasive and get the blaster over here I will be starting on that.

So even though this hasnt seen much action lately Im getting my stuff together dont you worry !


EDIT: I may go out and strip the interior and clean it all up to get it ready to make over the interior (paint) headliner seats reupholstered, ect.

Hopefully you don't keep this car for long. Your fiberglass patches are going to exacerbate the rust issue and make for some even more interesting rust holes in the future once moisture comes back.

Some hyper-genius did similar work to my 1964 Catalina before I bought it. It was an area a bit larger than your spoiler rust holes. It did so much damage that you could fit your fist into the rust hole the patch helped to create.

In the future, POR15 will be your friend, especially with those Ponchos.

 « INTERIOR UPDATE


So today I made a thread about reupholstering. I then decided I was going to do it myself as I hate for other people to do work for me. Not in a selfish way I just love to learn things.

So I bought some fabric at Joann Fabrics. My goal is to keep a "stock" look but with some updated fabrics and touches to bring the car into a post y2k era. Ive only done the glove box so far but stay tuned for more ! please...

P.s. I DIDNT remove the old fabric first as I didnt want to replace the foam and I wanted to keep the stock contour that it makes. So I used the fabric and the foam underneith as my "new" backing.


Here is how it started out



This is the fabric I bought. Its polyester.

And here is the done deal.


What I used:
- LOCTITE brand spray adhesive.
-fabric (4 yards) I only needed like half a yard for the glove box
-staples

Cost:
$25

Get your hands dirty !
