4/4/08

Today I decided to work on the rust alittle, I mostly wanted to take care of the surface rust. I need to buy a passenger side quarter panel and make a couple fillers for the driver side.

It will all need to be sanded and filled to be smoothed in but this is better then letting it rust away.

The first spot I fixed is the driver side of the hatch opening.
Step 1 (find the rust)

Step 2 (remove rust)

Step 3 (Prime to stop future rust)


The second spot i fixed was on the passenger side hatch opening.
Step 1

Step 2

Step 3


The third spot I worked on was in the drivers door jam were the front drain is.
Step 1

Step 2

Step 3


The fourth and final spot I worked on was the Driver side rear lower quarter including the wheel well. Lots of bondo here!
Step 1




Step 2

Thats all i worked on today, I may work on more over the weekend but its kinda depressing to do.

yeah i saw it forsale a while back. I almost bought it for a daily, but it was to much of a project for me.

 

Its getting there,nice work man.

 

if you ever want some mesh wheels lmk. might sell my 15x7 enkie 92's. they are 0 offset.

 

^ let me see some pics. im looking for both quarter panels right now and also an 82 supra 5m AFM and 82 supra 5m TB

 

i have a 82 5m tb. dont have the afm though. the wheels. 2 of them have lile marks like someone smacked them with a pick hammer or something. havent polished all 4 yet, just 2 and repainted the centers gunmetal. i can make all 4 look like this if you want. itll be a lil more then what id take for them as is of coarse. lol. tons of sanding involved before they can be polished like this.
