Colin_Fitz Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Right,we had this ready to be started but havent got around to it till yesterday so, Here we go: Work is being carried out by myself (Colin_Fitz) And Mike Pics From The Beginning: Car is being stripped and preped for a respray in the same colour but with more metal flake Also the rear wiper/keyhole etc. are being flushed 17/08/09: Car is in ready to be stripped Started with interior And found this in the rear driver side shock turret: This was filled with fibreglass paste without any hardener so never went hard.. This also came out of the hole: Havent got much done as we had a late start The rear interior is out,rear window,side windows,wiper,seats,carpet & sound deadning is removed As we left it last night Stay Tuned For Updates Tonight (Tonight should see all windows out,all interior out and hopefully the engine out) Enjoy 18/08/09: *All interior out all i can say is....RUST!! Everywhere,but thats a challenge.. Tomorrow will see it all grinded and plated *Rear wiper,"Starlet" badge,keyhole etc. all plated and ready for filler: Today was also a slow day, Tomorrow is going to be a long day, Expected to have: *All Windows Out *Rubstrips,lights,grill,bumpers,mirrors etc. removed *And hopefully have the engine ready to be pulled out..
