I hreally had no idea what i was getting myself into.

pulled in the garage. took the bumper and side skirts off, ripped the interior out, and checked out what i was up against.

i had bondoed over this spot like 2 years ago. back when i really didnt plan on ever having the car nice looking and didnt care about the rust getting worse

passenger side



rocker straight down from the driver sides little window



this is where its really nasty... it was the joining spot for a quarter panel replacement sometime in the past. basicaally just seam sealer slobbered overtop shitty spotwelds to cover them up. wasnt exactly waterproof it was nothing but rust

gas tank out so i could safely cut and weld

yummy

just had at it with the cutoff wheel till i got it all cut out







had to bend and cut all new sheetmetal from nothing. it aint pretty but its out of sight





all closed in.



used a side plate from my moms old desktop pc lol

















so years ago when the quarter panel was replaced, it was done fairly well. except it was not sealed off whatsoever. so there was water coming in all along the seam and it just rotted away









this was my stepdads idea. i used the left over part of the quarter from the passenger side to make a new inner lip for the driver side





















i was expecting rust holes along the bottom of the window. the poaint was starting to bubble so i got the window out to see

just some surface rust from water laying behind the seal. sanded it down and primered it up real good, slapped the window back in, and started to bondo!





















i got the dent out as much as i possibly could but this is as good as it gets!




after all that i undercoated and sealed everything up as much as i could

thanks

should we expect a new color?

not this time. im still in love with ocean breeze blue but ill be switching up the wheel color for summer. they just dont stand out enough. not that white is something amazin but it should make them pop a bit more.

tinted the tail lights and corner lights.



few random pics










the body work is far from perfect(so is the entire car) but once i get the bumper on straight and the door aligned it will line up better and when its all one color it should look pretty good for a first time body repair job

fixed the dent the best i could it was such a pain in the ass with the curve of the body. im excited about the wheels too they should look great sooner or later lol

Nice work man, looking good!

thanks


Rebuilt the shift linkage today and added a my new knob. im trying to get a video together to compare the shifting before and after but it seems my computer doesnt support the video format of my camera. gunna keep trying its a HUGE difference. but for now pics!



the plastic ball seat thing just kinda hung on the ball. i shook the shifter and it fell off it was toast. new one is nice and snug


294,000 miles vs brandy new




no slop. none. nadda. its amazing. i have yet to drive it but just shifting sittin still its literally night and day. why did i wait so long to do this



got this glitter ball knob at Spring Carlisle. this old hot rodder guy hand pours them himself and puts threaded inserts in and has adapters/jam nuts for whatever threads you have. Just like the Hurst T-handles.
I love it.
