after 8 years of ownership, and 2 years of rust repair and other such stuff, i am fuinally getting ready to take it to get the fenders repaired the reat of the way and the crappy respray sanded off and car repainted.
i wantes to start a new thread apart from the failed entry into the first rebuild contest. with the help of BillH1963 and a friend of his (Mike) i hope to have this done in 2 months! i am pulling this motor and transmission today. stripping car down this week and next week taking bare car with windows out, interior out, up to Mikes shop up near Columbia SC. They will be sanding it down by hand to the original primer and fixing and missed rust etc not repaired last year- as previously documented the floor pan rust jack points longs and pedal area were all repaired by Chis and Ed at Tangerine Racing in 2016. they also repaire the fender lips that were bent and damaged and massaged the rear fenders out to get room for the 7" fuchs. Now those will be smoothed out the rest of the way. and a proper match of L99k copper metallic ( goimg with the PPG - thanks for advice on this from Bill Dunster! will document this for fun and future reference- car is original matching numbers 2.0 with appearance group car- but i decided this week since i have 5 lug etc im goimg to back date the bumpers- none of this ruins originality as far as it cant be undone- i thint it will look better too so here we go!!!
