I started to repair the rust in front of the windshield where the fenders meet up. The pass side had been patched before but it still needed a lot of work.

Here it is with new gaskets. And I finished welding it up on this side but I don't have a pictures. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

So I started on the driver's side. This side was not as bad it was still a pain in the butt to fix.

That's all of the pictures for tonight. There is some rust in the front weatherstrip channel that I started to cut out but haven't finished with that yet.

Tomorrow I will probably start removing the gas tank and all the ventilation ducting to get it ready for paint. The last main thing that needs to be done before i start prepping for paint is to fix some damage in the rear trunk . The fun just doesn't stop!

More Progress!

So at one time there was rust in the rear trunk and the PO decided to cut out a trunk floor from another car and weld/braze it over the rusted floor. So I cut out the top layer of the floor...

Since the car was hit in the driver's side rear corner at some point, you can still see some of the damage. I will address this with the floor out.

Most of the trunk floor out. This is as far as I got tonight with the floor.

I also removed the windshield... without breaking it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The windshield is not in good shape so I will replace this after paint.

Lot of progress has been going on

I got most of the rear trunk in. I reused the the floor that was welded in before but I fabricated the corner pieces . I won't finish the driver's side of the trunk until I repair the damage on that side.

Today I started to address the damage in the rear. After stripping the rear fender of body filler, the rear half of the fender was obviously beaten back into shape and it was pretty mangled. So I decided to cut out and replace that part of the fender. This also allowed me to beat out some of the damage in the rear trunk.

This is as far as I got for tonight. A little more trimming and it should be ready to weld into place.

I also took out the gas tank and all ventilation ducting in the front trunk because I will be painting all those areas. No pictures of this either.

Things left to do:

-Weld up rear driver's side fender
-Weld up rear trunk floor
-Strip rear fenders, trunk lids, and engine lid
-Apply filler to remaining pieces
-Sand trunks

Doug great job. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

What brand of body filler are you using? What grade sandpaper are you using to remove it? Are you removing it use air-powered tools or by hand?

I'm using Evercoat products. I haven't used the Metal Glaze yet but I will after I get done applying the filler. I prepare the metal with 60 grit and then sand down with 60. I will probably step up to 120 before applying the glaze. Most of the sanding so far has been with a RO sander but I have used a long board sanding block in some areas. I should also mention that this is my first time dealing with with any sort of body filler or painting for that matter so I've been learning as I go.

I finished welding up the rear fender today. I'm so glad I decided to replace this portion. I also stripped the rest of the fender.
