Image
One piece I made for the wheel well, welded in already.
Image
Inside of the quarter panel, have one more piece to make to fill in the gap.

Image
Last thing to fix and then I could weld the panel on

Image
Before and after a cleanup.

Image
That's the plan. :thumb:

Hey man,
I used DupliColor Vinyl & Fabric paint for the carpet, it's pretty good stuff, doesn't smell after it's dried up.
For the gauge cluster I used a headlight restoration kit to clean the cluster glass.
Yeah I painted the needles myself. I changed it from blue cuz you couldn't see the needles too well at night time, the orange that I got is neon orange so its bright when the light hits it, neon colors are probly the best you can use.

thanks so much for the information.

i will see if i can order some DupilColor, but i may need more as i plan to change the color of mine to red. how much did you use on yours, cans?

i will check on the restoration kit for the gauge cluster glass

such a pity, did you check if they had neon blue? if there is such a thing, wonder if i can do mine neon red :)

I bought 4 cans, used like 3 and a half in total. Didn't see no neon blue or red, only like pink, green and yellow.

Fresh Updates!!

Undercoated all the inside of the quarter panel before I put it on.
Image
After a couple hours of tack welding.
Image

Messed up on the wheel arch part, cut out way too much and the door didn't align with the panel.
Image
I cut out those welds and cut out a piece of sheet metal to fill in the gap. And then tack welded that in.

Grinded the welds down, painted it with primer and now I have to fix all the lil holes still left. The panel warped a lil bit in the middle, but not too much. Gotta go over it again and weld all the holes in.
Image

Wheel arch part
Image

Image
Did some work on the back of the trunk, filled one hole in and cleaned up all the rust.

All my parts so far waiting to be put on...
Image

lol, a lil editing :thumb:
Image
Wooooooooo, almost done! :D :D
