Started to fix another problem area today aswell... I needed to sandblast the whole area because it was so rusty.... Gawd I love my sandblaster :-) I'm Acutally getting better at using it now ;-)
To Anyone looking to buy a sandblaster: DO IT... I have saved enough time on this one project to justify what I paid and I have just a small 5 gallon pressure pot!

I also sprayed more sound dampening/undercoat spray all on the inside of the metal to reduce as much sound as possible :-) Great stuff to work with if your have nice gloves :-)
Oh after that I dropped the LX tank to put the EX-i tank in and notice a bit of a difference :-)

Re: Winter Project *Lots of pics*
You're really cleaning that car up nice, man!
Re: Winter Project *Lots of pics*
Thank you Speedpenguin I am really trying to do a decent job here.
There are a couple remaining holes in the structure that you can see.... I am going to deal with those after the quarter panel has been welded on. They don't look like they provide any strength anyway but I will take care of them after :-)
The next step now for bodywork is to get my panel welded on.
The next step I'm doing is swapping the tank over and laying B-Quiet Extreme in my trunk.
Thanx for stopping by!
Re: Winter Project *Lots of pics*
wow you sure gone to town on this wish i had a space to do somthing simlar with my volvo witch i can buy all the panels for it to fix it new lol
i just hope your using zink oxide primer to help prevent the rust from coming back plzz make sure you are doing this or all your work will just be going down the drain :(
Re: Winter Project *Lots of pics*

Re: Winter Project *Lots of pics*
hmm what other colors are u going to go with?
Re: Winter Project *Lots of pics*
The above orange is not very close to what I want.
I'm wanting the make one of my interior accent colors to be the exact same color of the paint job. So think of a nice burnt metallic orange similer to below ( I want mine a little darker ) :
