Resto project from downunder
Here's the mid-day Friday update photos, Hans has spent about 3 1/2 days on it so far and the main body shell is nearly finished. It's taken a fair bit of work on both quarters between the door and wheel openings to get the lower sections smooth. On both sides it had been dented then poorly beaten and filled with bog. Both lower rear quarters needed small patches (5" x 2") welded into them.
Each section is being etch primed as it's done. So far I've spent about $180 on sanding materials and about $350 on etch primer, 2 pak primer surfacer, seam sealer etc.
This is the section under the filler neck that needed new metal in it ...
Repaired wheel wheel ...
Completed drivers rear 1/4 section in etch primer ...
