I am going to paint it NBP.

I'm thinking about stripping the wheels and repainting them.

I wish I was skilled at body/paint work. Looking good so far!

Nice work russian! Im balls deep into my first bodywork/repaint ordeal... How hard is it to remove the front and rear windshields? I wanna do that to do the job right. Here is a couple pictures of my project...

I made this cut at first but later opted to remove the whole thing

This is my donor panel

This pick was taken about two months ago. Since then new metal has been welded in everywhere rust is I'm waiting to finish for a complete DIY on quarter panel replacement

its not really hard and not easy. If you have the right tools its easy, but I had to use a bicycle brake cable to cut it out, and I had to do it with my bro because one guy has to be outside and one inside to cut it.

BlackAc92 · 05-12-08, 11:06 PM

do you think i could still do nice job with it by leaving them in?

yea, I took them out to check for rust, and i did have a lot of rust under the rear windshield and some rust under the front windshield.

Hmmm, I wonder...I dont think so though...Damnit now you got me thinkin. I had to make many little patch panels on my bucket. However my trunk-lining area was pretty clean. Ive never seen rust like you had in that area.

i think i had rust in my trunk area because of a bad window molding and a bad trunk seal. I could kinda see the rust under the windows, but when i took them out, there was a lot of rust.

Ok, I'm just gonna look in the cracks real well and if i dont see anything i'm just gonna hope for the best. Thanks man and keep up the good work...Oh! i almost forgot, Did you get all of the spongy jap adhesive out of you rear quarter wheel wells? I cut all of that shit otta there. That stuff absorbs water and is the reason why our Qp's rot out so bad. I guess its for sound dampening and it kindov joins the wheel wells with the outside metal

Russian · 05-17-08, 10:39 PM

I primered everything today. Tomorrow I am going to sand everything and paint inside the trunk area, bumpers, moldings, mirrors, grille, door handles, and everything else I took off the car. I will paint the car either on monday or tuesday. I only work on the car on weekends, thats why it's taking so long.
