Dawg Posted December 4, 2010 Author Share Posted December 4, 2010 Got the sliding door off today and started the final prep. Sanded heaps of small stuff, then PS this: Not the mags I'll use but you get the idea. Had some old Chevy mags that fit but didn't like the gold.

Dawg Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 Painted up some small white bits today. Nice and thick. Wonder if they glow under ultra violet? Stripped the cab out as well. Seats are OK so might just recover. There's the dirty 18R. Old school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 Gave the dirty bastard a good water blast. Just about ready for sanding the last internals. Stripped off the front. Looks pretty naff at the mo. Nearly ready to whack some paint on. Sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 You guys and girls are probably a bit sick of all my painting shots eh! Here's some more for ya... The red oxide is where a little bit of rust had come through from scratches damn it! All treated now. Needed a good scrub as I had a few silicon particles that the paint didn't like much. Nothing major. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 Got the roof and one side painted white. undercoated the other side. Good conditions for painting.

Dawg Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Been working on the doors today. Found this repair, hm! someone had just put builders putty on it. Found a K&N E-2222 Filter for $82.40 incl on Ebay. Then painted up these, not that they were rusty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Been a while since I last posted. My camera broke not to mention my drill and sander. Here's a snap of the second to last skim of bog on the doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 The top coat. Pretty mint considering the dusty area I'm working in. Tinted windows in. Worked late to refit the front doors, still need adjusting. The problem with the starter solenoid solved. Starts first pop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
