Little project i started
Posted: Sun Jan 07, 2007 7:23 pm
I have had a nice car sitting here for a few years in need of some love. I have been widdiling away on her and got a little progress done. So i thought i would put up a few pics to share. I have the interior cumpletly gutted out, the only thing left to take out pretty much is the windheild and rear window. Sorry for the pic qualuity no digi cam had to snap em with my celly. Well on with the pics
This is what i started with
What appears to be some rot on the lower rear of the quarter panel (same on the other side as well )
here she sits in the shop ( and pic quality goes down )
Peak a boo i see you
OMG some one stole the side of my car WTF or wait i think i might have gotton a bit happy with the cutter
Well there was a reason i did so much cutting. Once apon a time a boob decided the he or she or they would put on new quarter panels. Well nothing wrong with that idea. However when you put on half panel replacements sometimes it is a good idea if you remove the old one and not put the new on over top it and put on TONS of body filler to hide the seams and i mean tons of filler. It was a great way for moister to trap between teh two panels and rot the "new One" from the inside out. As i was cuting the old one out you could see how rotten it was on the inside it was terriable...
Heres what i had to cut out
Yes your looking at it right and are not drunk that is two left quarter panels WOW jus WOW
But dont fret kiddies i have this waiting to go on and just the one Hopefully fitment wont be two bad and minimal grunt work will be required
Well thats all for now i have the same thing to look forward to on the other side but im gonna attack it one side at a time. A big thanks goes out to this forum as i have been lurking and reading for a while and gave me some good ideas and info
All comments welcomed
