sorry guys been slack as with posting. Shes all sanded down and super straight to me now ready for primer. HAd 250 hours or so in labour on front end which for rust free thats pretty crazy. Pulling engine out next week hopefuly to tidy engine bay and do up the good old pinto.

they have allready re made the panels and re made the tops of guards and changed the channels so the water doesnt sit there and it wont happen again

yeah dont mean to acuse you about it man either, it was just that it has been def done dodgy and covered up as the rusty piller had gunk and another panel riverted onto the front of it and then gunk/shit over that and then some other shit lol. and congrats also, all tied up now! but yeh take the guards off and grind it down as my mates escort was exactly the same

yep there is more photos coming, just need to get them. nothing else apart from both pillers and some of the front left floor in the corner but hay thats oldcars for ya

Couple more pics

Pics please. I dont belive this. I paid close to $2000 to get rust removed PLUS the $3000 to paint the car! (which also involved a tad more rust removal) Either way I had no idea of this, sucks to find but it is an old car. If I was you I would have started with another shell, what was the point of taking expensive paint off a car when it looked fine. You could have started on a new shell and still had this one as it was! Each to their own tho. As far as I knew it didnt. I didnt touch that car in the paint/prep procedure and I did believe it was 100% rust free. It was painted round 5 years ago now which is a pretty long time. When I sold it to you, over a year ago now, it had absolutly no signs of rust coming through the paint and no signs of rust anywhere else for that matter.. so, how was i supposed to know!! Sorry mate but not my fault! yeah narh im not having a go at you, just dissapionted but the guy that did it for you did the dodgy hardout. I will send more photos threw when i get the disk from panel beaters. ta

it had patches riverted on to the rusty hole piller to try cover it up and with a tone of crap sealer? lol

um gaz, quote "It has ABSOLUTLY NO RUST as it was all taken out" but yeah it sure has rust. Few $$ also fixing

fair enough, that rust is pretty shit As in small or bad? lol

yeah but we were told it had no rust. And so its done proper and dont have to re do it again, as he has designd it so the water wont sit inside and rust like factory guards do.

i think 7489 is job number

So yeah car has been in paint shop for a few months, aperntly it had no rust... to bad pics dont lye. Really anoyed, so hear is a couple of pics so far of front left guard. Both sides are really bad and have been all re made with new pillers etc also. Will post more pics when sent through to me from shop.

um they had to send the little bit of paint thay had away to get matched up but thay have one of the best painters in newzeland painting it so it should come out good, he said he will blend it in over the hole guard and it should get pretty close to the colour. He made up a code for it aswell so when i touch it up i will have a code to go by. narh can't afford it as his labour is so much haha.. if anyone was at drags in the weekend and you saw the autoimage falcon, or green f100 or even the airbrusd fridge. you will no what im talking about. Top quality comes at a price.
