Well its been over 33 years that I have owner this car as the 3rd owner.
I have finally broken down and am getting the surface rust repaired and having the car fully resprayed. I am told it should be ready by Mid August. The car was torn down this week and the good news is that after 33 years of mud and dirt in the rockers that there is no rust. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Surprising, as the car first came in to the country in Chicago and wound up spending time in San Francisco before I got it. The rest of the car had a few rust bubbles at the base of the windshield and on the passenger door along with the usual dents and dings that come with keeping a car in a garage with little kids opening the car door next to it or traveling the So Cal freeways and picking up misc. road debris impacts. The car is going to stay its' original color "Ancona Blue" along with all of the appearance group finishes. As progress continues I'll continue to update.Thanks for looking. |

Stopped by Ron's today to see how he is doing and to do a primer check before heading off to the paint booth in about a week or two. Getting closer and closer to a new 2-stage painting of Ancona Blue. He is doing a great job. Almost all of the little imperfection are gone on the exterior of the body. I should hopefully have it back in my garage in about 6 weeks, were it will sit until I reinstall the interior. Time to get my butt in gear.
Here are some more shots of the car now that is has been wet sanded with 500 grit. Still some more work to be done in spots like the rear tail light and then on to the trunks and engine compartment. |
