Hey guys i started strippin out my motor earlyer today ready for a little welding i found 4 little gash holes all in all wich im pleased with considderin the year there are a few welds here and there not too good ones either anyways heres some pics
drivers side footwell has massive dent from trolly jack ideots


rear seats


lots of underseal doesnt make for great finish

underneath fuse box


im guessin it was white orrigionally


all though not sure

massive dent

bits missing

excellent paint job (yellow )


any ideas for gettin rid of this underseal so i can get smooth finish


will deff need a FULL respray



professionally done by boge it and legg it

not sure if this is good or bad

hey check my mums shed all i got was

cheers for looking fellas ill keep ya posted

 

id say the car was originally white mate

then went as many colours as possible



but looks like you got your work cut out but be nice when its all done

are yu doing it black again?

try petrol and a scraper for the underseal the petrol should soften it up then a bit of thinners with a rag

 

used the big heavy duty wire wheels on mine and also the scotch on a wheel from b@q,good luck with your project

 

Cheers guys yeah im gonna do it all in black iv got a chap who's doing the welding on the cheap and hopefully a mate's mate is doing the spraying only thing is what do i do with this big dent? do i treat it like pannel beatin (but maybe weakening it) and get it strait as or chop it out and replace
i also want to change the dash as its been the victim of this shadey paint work to in places.
the car is literally full to the brim with maskin tape loads of it, the guy had no respect for the RS badge just thrashed it
oh also the slam pannel is kinked in places replace???
cheers for the replys chaps

 

eeek looks like the last owner needs a slap what about stripin and havein most of the bad bits shot blasted

 

yeah i thought of that but im not sure if im prepeared for the out come as it shows ALL the holes and how big they are but i guess they'll have to be done eventually

 

well at least ya will no wats under them layers of paint and it will be spot on when done

 

better keep yer mom close at heart as she does the cooking, laundry,dishes, me on the other hand am married
