If you try spacing that 1 closer to the 2, you will get an instant neg 100 rep points. Just bear that in mind lol
space it closer i dare you lol
well.. its started.. got all this done in 1 day
drivers door: ground the rust out, found 2 hoels the size of pin heads.. nothing atall.. all the door is structurally sound so we put a re-enforcement inside, and fiberglassed all the ground out rust.. onyl sorface rust. the 3 dents were then saned back , fileld and flattened off roughly with p80 paper for now as we are going to give ti a final layer of metallic filler instead of using normal body filler
drivers 1/4: took back some touch up paint to find soem rust, grinf it out and a lick of filler, sorted. also found some surface rust on the arch/sill corner, took it back to bare metal and a skim of filelr, sorted.
drivers wing: 2 dents took abck to bare metal and then filled and sanded
passenger door: ground the surface rust away, no holes atall but has had filler in it previously, took the filelr out and fiberglassed it, sanded down. sorted
passenger 1/4, what i thought was the worst.. was actually ok, took it back to bare metal, fiberglassed it, sanded it down and got correct shape, skim of filler and a sand, sorted. dent about half way up, nocked in abit, took back to bare metal, skim of filler, sand, sorted.
passenger wing: 2 dents took abck to bare metal, skimemd with filler, sanded. sorted

i know some of you will be thinking "f*cking hell i wouldnt use that much filler and fibergalss, id just buy 2 new doors"... well this is free to me and tbh i couldnt give 2 hoots about it being filler lol. it wont rust like this for a very very long time especially with metallic filler.. so im happy all day long. the doors are structurally sound they are very very motn doors but its the outer skin thats gone, so rtaher than chucking too perfectly useable doors and wasting ??? on a new set i may aswell use there, what people dont realise is that the bottom where they usually go is mint on mine.. thats why im not throwing them away, because their repairable.
fantastic!! eventually some real progress!:thumb:
dont worry about the filler/what anyone else thinks..will be reet, i understand about the doors etc..lol
keep up the good work, i will be interested to see what she turns out like mate!
And it only took 126 pages lolQuote:

looking good mate :thumb:
metallic filler coming tomorrow hopefully, get ehr all ready to go to the spray shop by tuesday afternoon at the latest :thumb:
Nice work.
Are you doing all the masking yourself?
i should be yes.. will have the help of my other uncle whos spraying at aswell like.. hes a prop sprayer, my dads an expert on engines, my uncle kev's a expert on body work, and my uncle rob is a expert on painting.. good family to have lol. dont want to remove the glass or bumpers tho as the front was quite hard to get on and the front window frames are a pain to get in and out.. think its possible?
TBH if your having all that done i wouldn't be moaning about removing bumpers or glass or window surrounds as i would want it to be done properly etc.. so i would remove them if i was you instead of boding over them because you can't be bothered to remove. lol
you just wait till you have to fit your front window surrounds.. then youll realise why i dont want to remove them lol
Oh well you could end up regretting it further down the line just because you couldn't be bothered david!
shut up tommothy.. at least my arches are round and the car drives in a straight line lol
OOOOOOoooo that hurt!
Atleast i can drive my car legally on the road !! lol
(When it's been fixed).
ooh.. kick a man where it hurts... in the leg
at least im not gay..(no offence to any homosexuals that are out there reading this..)
We know, we know. lolQuote:

Whats with all the ****ty banter?
Novalad has a good point....
The bumpers only 6 bolts afterall.
you will spend forever masking up the window frames and bumpers
im planning on just askign ym uncle whats the best option to do. im going to remove things like lights and some glass etc that cnan be removed easilly, but bumpers we can mask off with tape and painting paper because the geps are quite big down the sides.
Good work mate, should look ace all painted :)
good progress lad , we have all been there lol

all i did was attempt to make a cav digi clock fit my dash, but after hours of messing about i gave up, so whilst my clocks were out i decided to have a tidy up of the wiring to make the clocks sit flusher to the dashboard, as on the right they never sat perfect and the clock shroud looked raised at the bottom right
anyway.. before:
