Well, I've been working steadily for the last several weekends getting the front trunk prepped. I've had to fill about a dozen holes left over from the dealer installed A/C system. I also replaced the front trunk floor. Here's the before shot of the trunk floor.

I also prepped the front fenderwells. I didn't remove the front sway bar.

Very nice! Looks a whole lot nicer than the front trunk repair I did this past weekend... Also known as Learning How To Weld 101.

Randy: that is SWEEEEEETTTTTT Thats like the best avatar I've ever seen!


I just spent a few minutes looking through your awesome collection of project pictures and descriptions. I am REALLY impressed. That site contains a wealth of useful information. I'm going to refer to that both for inspiration and information. Nicely done!

Now if only I didn't live in an apartment and had space to do body work without having to rush.

Hi Rob,

Great work! When you're ready to do your painting, one thing I'd recommend - don't use newspaper for your masking but use some good quality masking paper.

Guy, thanks for the comments....

Can I use the newspaper for the small parts being covered?

Are you recommending the masking paper for only the large body coverings?

I'm planning to repaint the exterior after I get the car put back together.

watsonrx13,

Can you share with us how and what you used to prep the surface, and exactly what kind of primer you used?

Thanks,

Andy

I've found that newspaper has a lot of loose fibers that get kicked up in the air and settle on your topcoats, causing dust nibs. Good quality masking paper does not have this problem, and it's more resistant to paint bleeding through. You can use aluminum foil to wrap up small parts and wiring too, and it doesn't have the same problem as newsprint. Also, remove all masking you used for primering and remask. Primer dust and particles can dislodge from the old masking and blow off into your new fresh paint.
