The Disuster
Last few days:
1. got all the headlights and tail lights working.. even reverse lights!
2. put a coat of primer on the underside of my floor repair
3. located all the rust on the front left frame rail.. should be repairable.. with the removal of everything...
4. pulled the headliner and am exploring repair options. the rear panel is in rough shape. thinking about cutting it off and replacing it with the piece shown below. Also JB welded some cracks in the interior plastics.
5. I started peeling at the drivers side rear quarter.. HOLY COW! 1/2" of bondo! Whoever did this work was thorough, and also pretty decent at making things look normal when they are not.
I ordered a new piece for the passenger side, but I believe I can repair the drivers side with just a section of steel. Most of the structure is still there.
At this point, I can fix all the little rust and drive the car for a while, but eventually the engine, trans and K member will need to come out. I guess I should save that for last, then I can paint the engine bay!
