Sorensin Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 I also worked a little more on the doors. Nice big skim to cover rust the rust repair and the dents on the top and bottom faces of the inner door. The Skim all sanded back and reprimed Prepping the door for applying a seam sealer over the joins(this wasn't done in the factory back then but is common practice now days) The finished result of the sealer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sorensin Posted August 3, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2015 Last of the long overdue updates, some work on the engine bay. There was a broken off bolt at the front of the engine bay, it had been there for as long as I could remember I thought about just cutting it off and welding over it but I thought I'd be mega angry and past Matt if it turned out I wanted to used the hole further down the track so I welded a rod to it so I could wind it out. Success one extracted broken thread from a bolt. I finished feathering some edges and sanding off anymore signs of rust I could find, the engine bay then recieved a metal prep Followed by a couple coats of epoxy primer 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorensin Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Ok sorry guys, have been really slack on updating this (and working on the car) I have painted the engine bay and refitted the engine and the car is now at home in my garage. The inside of the doors and been filled and painted and the outside ruffly filled but will probably require work once hung to make body lines match up. The outside of the tail gate has been filled twice as the first time the primer bubbled up, arguments over it being there was 1k etch used in spots where i sanded through when filling or humidity blisters, either way doesn't matter was striped back and redone without 1k primer and using the booth to prime, the inside seams were sealed up like the doors and the inside and outside of the tail gate have been painted. Did a little actual panel beating on the front guard and started to investigate why the wheels don't sit even;y in the rear guards but havn't sorted this yet. I have also finished my Bathroom which was a overlapping project and ate up a lot time, I have also started to clean up my garage so I can get some more solid work done on the escort. Hopefully I'll so some better updates with some more pictures soon! Every post needs a pic! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
