Massive update really taken from another forum over the last few weeks, all comments welcome. Especially advice seem as though this is the first time ive worked on cars. Enjoy.

Made a start on the bumper today.

One bumper



Rubbed down a little



After I rubbed it all down I washed it to find the parts id missed

(I done recommend this if your Mrs is due home)


Nice and clean, some missed parts also.



Damage


Filled all the damaged areas, dont think I really needed to do all of them because the high build primer will probably sort them out.









Rubbed em down again.









And thats that.

Oh I nearly forgot, I must admit I didnt do all the hard work myself I had a little helper.





Primed up front bumper and grill tonight, first time using the compressor and spray gun so I didnt really know what to expect. However all went well and they just need painting now.

Practice bonnet off a saffy.

2Nd coat


Finished




Grill




My M8 who owns the 3dr. Trav


Moved the car to my m8s house ready for all the work to start. Stripped it down a little more to see just exactly what needs doing. Heres a few pics more to follow.









This didnt look too bad with only a few bubbles around the filler, did the ole screwdriver test and here we have it.




Took the boot spoiler off to see how bad it was under there.







Not that bad really.

And a really upset Saphire Cosworth, now the 3dr has moved in.





Did a little bit tonight started poking about like you do and a bit more strippin.


Underneath started flapping it down to see what was under all this sealent crap. Im gunna leave it as it is becasause it is stopping it from rusting where it has been applied. Ill just patch up all the bits that havnt been done.


Battery Tray, solid just has very minor surface rust.


Better shots of the air scoop located in my floor pan.






Got cracked on with the fuel filler repair.

Beginning









Now although the welding wasnt the best by no means we used a flap type disk to remove it down until it was level. However it did get a little thin




Hammered it in filler to stop it getting rusty again until the next time Ive got time to finish it off.




I also found this same on both sides.
