sheepers Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 how to do? its not easy and it takes a whole bunch of swinging a large hammer. that bar on the floor is my broom handle! i use a broken trailer spring to stretch/shape. ill take some pix tonight and try and write up a bit on it. its not easy though..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valiant Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Do you think you'll be able to sell it after all this work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 yea i reckon. i always knew what it would take to make it right and i still plan on doing the best job i can. just because I'm selling it doesn't mean I'm going to do something half arsed. probably more incentive to do the best i can actually.

Valiant Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Good stuff. How much more rust is there left to fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 don't know. I've ground back the bog in the roof sills and there doesn't seem to be any rust there, just heaps of bog for some reason. front of the sill under the front guard is a place that they always rust but this car seems to be fine in that area, ditto the bottom corners of the front guards. I've ground a bit of bog of the bottom of the drivers door and there doesn't seen to be any dodgy repairs hiding under the bog there. I've not looked at the passengers door yet. boot lid has some bad repairs done to the bottom lip where it closes. i have another boot but its probably not much better. I've yet to take the screens out so we'll see what lovelies are hiding under there. I'm going to ask Peter to remove the sunroof and fix the roof because thats way beyond me and i hate gay sunroofs. floors and structure type stuff is super good on this car, probably better that the blue car. as i say, this car was probably in really good nick with a couple of little holes coming through when it was butchered. not sure what ill attack next? doors? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valiant Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 What a mess, it looks like it was harder work to do it wrong. Have you had panels acid dipped before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 yea. the bonnet and front panels off the blue car were all dipped. i dipped the bonnet off the crown too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
