Had to hurry to get this beast primed. The humidity is so
high that the car can rust pretty significantly
in the bad places in just a matter of days without any primer on it. |
 |
This gives you the idea of how the raw metal looks when the
finish has been removed. I can't wait to get
those bumper holes for the big bumpers plugged and ready for the Euro
bumpers. They fit into the 2 smaller
holes to the right of them. |
 |
The floor pans turned out really well. There was no rust
really found that was critical. The black factory
insulation material was left on the transmission tunnel and e-brake areas as
they will be covered by more
layers of insulation once the metal has been primed with epoxy primer and
sealed with a top coat. |
 |
Here the floor drains are visible after being glass beaded.
The covers will be welded and sealed. The sand
can be seen piled up on the floor. This also helps in keeping the floors dry
until you are ready to begin
treat and prime the metal itself. |
 |
On the floor of the prep room, waiting to be primed. You know
that some of that factory undercoating will
not come off no matter what you throw at it... The risk you run with the
glass beading is warping the metal.
I've pretty much decided to save these fenders as spares and use new ones
since the holes are already plugged
for the running lights, which I'm leaving off this time. The trunk and
hood are ready to go now as is.
MORE TO COME... |
