Mine was rusty and thin so I cut it out, but the other side is not great either.

The last rust holes welded up.. I have thought this several times already, but maybe this one is it.

I have sanded most of the insides now. On to the bottom and outsides, then primer.

Well its past time for another update..
Not as much visible progress, but I have been working. Going over the whole care with dental pick, toothbrush and vacuum. I am still finding sand, but I have the bulk of it out....I think.
I decided to go ahead and get the foam out from the rear fender.

I have also been prepping my paint booth. I still have a ways to go, but here is the plan.
Positive pressure with furnace fan in filter box (still need to build). Plastic hanging from ceiling, and a filter wall built where the garage door is.

This is the idea. Roll up when not in use. I will add plastic to the floor, and tape up all the seams before I spray.. roll up the door, turn on the fan and fire away.
I hope. Its small only about 20' long and 12' wide.

Also building a "Hannah's Bug" decicant air dryer.
First I had to cut the stops out of the bushings. I had to make the screened outlet line and then just glue it all together.

Well at last... Progress!
As discussed in my SPI thread with ScottyB I started with PPG Shopline JP371..
Attached Image

This is just the first coat. After this was dry I spent about an hour spinning the car and got a little more sand out.

Attached Image

Next I applied JP202 as a sealer

Attached Image

Then I applied color JB Marathon Blue Metalic

Attached Image

Mostly just messing around with the color on the outer panels, I plan to sand them all right back, but it was good practice.... and I mixed up too much paint.

Next I used the JC620 Clear on the inside stuff.

I wasn't convinced I would ever get this far, but for the first time in who know how long she is the factory color again. Next I need to spray Raptor on the underside and wheel wells, then I can start bolting stuff back on. After most of that stuff is done, I will sand the outside back and repaint the outsides.

Looks good. I made the same style paint booth in 2009. Cost me about $60 but I already had an squirrel cage fan. Worked great! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Amazing progress considering what you started with...like my silver car (L96 D) but really like that colour I think a little more than mine.
Good luck you are getting closer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Adding color is always a satisfying step.

Hey guys,
Quick question: are the rubber spring bits available or needed for the shocks. I have new shocks from PMB, but don't see this part for the fronts or rears. Rear is Haynes manual page 94 lower right corner item number 8. Front is Haynes page 100 item 26.

Also is there a round universal joint bushing (shift linkage) other than the $50 brass one that works OK?

Thanks

How about some pictures of the front bulkhead? I need to see how the wires go from inside the cab, through the fuel tank section and into the front trunk.

Thanks,

Glad to see you back at it. That is looking really nice. That has got to get you fired up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
