Here are some photo's of the first layer of primer going on. The gun seams ok for just the doing primer but might want something better for doing a final coat.

Looks good my friend! Now you know exactly what you're dealing with. Just some pin holes on the drivers side floor and the hood seal channel? Not bad at all.

Really nice! I love the way primer looks! Audi actually had a color called Aviator Grey that I think would look killer on a 914.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/images.pistonheads.com-13527-1364925804.1.jpg) One small tip that I have learned the hard way a couple times now... the lighting you have now or used to spray the primer will NOT be sufficient to do your color. You want it to be bright as day in there with no shadows at all if you can avoid it. Otherwise you'll never be able to see how the paint is laying down. Great work so far, congrats! |

Yes my thoughts exactly, but the hell whole battery tray need some work but have all the panels already. Yes I will have to get some better lighting before doing the final coat |

Got some inner long reinforcing plates in last week from mad dog they look great and seem to fit great with a few minor adjustments. I also picked up the GT rear 10 piece suspension stiffening kit but have to figure out where all the pieces go? Need a link to an install of them if anyone knows one. Tonight I was messing around with the welder I think I figured out spot welds but not beads. Getting lot's of crackling not sure if using too much argon mix?

Anyway the last couple of nights the wife/kids have let me work on the car. :banana:
I decided to do the long and suspension reinforcing before dealing with the rust in the floors. I wanted to make sure the car stayed true and square to factory specs and gaps. First step to section and remove rusty panels. To be honest I think I'm removing more good metal then needed but don't like the look of small patch repairs. Second is to section the new replacement panels. Did a lot of test fitting and trimming. I also pre drilled holes or punched body panels for spot welding. I'm trying to do as much welding from the top not a fan of splatter and slegg falling on body parts from welding under the car... Wish I had a car rotisserie would make life so much easier. I'm really trying to do a big push the next week or two to get metal work done. So I can prime and get a base coat in/on the chassis under body, engine bay, interior and trunk before the weather gets to cool to paint the car in the garage.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) Just have done a ton of bolt on etc on newer cars. This is a hole bucket of worms and a new truck load of tools needed to buy and use. |

Ended up using metal trunk plug to replace the rusty one under driver seat.
Have a spare one..
