Fill'er up!

...with body filler! but before we get to that...

Last Wednesday we were back at it. It was only 3 of us, John, Jimmy and I.
John quickly finished the new intercooler pipes. they dont look like scrap but they came off a stock Hyundai exhaust that was given to me. (thanks Eric)






The car sits ready for the bodywork to begin!


Jimmy and I began by taking the panels down to the bare metal.


With all the sanding and grinding, our first paintjob(the warbird) was coming through)


This fender is ready for bodyfiller.








I began laying the body filler & sanding with the file...


... while john finishes up tacking up a small corner near the door jamb.


Once the night was over, I had layed about 2 coats on specific areas. It still needs more block sanding and more filler, but I think that with another work day, we can be ready for primer!


Today, Jimmy had the day off and spent all day working on the car.
He installed our dashboard that we scavenged from the Parts car we had a while back. Its still cracked and not perfect, but its better than the one we had.



He began prepping the entire car for paint, which includes dissasembly, and scruffing the bodypanels with a scotch pad...



...and taping up the windows.


Its looking scruffy!


Jimmy has also spent some time sendig emails to some of the larger manufacturers asking for free stickers. I dont know where we are going to fit all of these!
