UPDATE: 13-05-08 : BODYWORK

Right well the rear wheel bearing has been fixed but i have found that one of the rims has a slight flack spot in it so gona see if i can get that sorted out.

Anyway thought i might aswell paint the wholecar as i had 1 dent that annoyed me and i wanted to roll the arches to get more clerance.

Arches were rolled as on previous page, rear ones didnt turn out good. So
gave them a bit of metal work cut out a few bits and sorted and a few skims of filler, battery ran out on camera so only got one pic.



Filler went off very quickly as was so hot at the weekend but made easy for rubbing down.

Did a small dent in the quater before this actually but here it is.




primed up the rear arches that day and then onmonday i had some spare time and banged out the p180 and buzed off the whole front end and front arches, also a little bit of rust at the top of the bonnet and a small bit on the door.

Just need to sort out the front panel when i have time and also the sunroof but will have that done by wednesday night hopefully.

Then quickly bagged it up, coat of etch and a few coats of 2k primer and then rolled outside to dry which it did very quickly as it was very hot.










Looks a bit shit driving it but will be rubbed down and painted on thursday so should all look good then.
