Hmm yours looks the same as mine before you started. Badly sun damaged. Mine has a little rust though. You can do mine next if you want! Good practice for you. ;-)

Removal of rear wiper hole involved cutting a piece of steel abit larger than hole. Cleaning around hole with wire wheel both sides, and same with patch. Then all surfaces were tinned using a hot air blower and solder. The patch was then held in place using a wired in oil filter remover. The hole was then filled in with a bigger bar of lead from Bunnings. Then filed back
Neat trick Eddie, works for doorlocks too |

after prepping my last 2 cars for paint my heart goes out to you, most menotonus, time consuming, knuckle scraping finger blistering jobs on the plant (if u do it properly, which u seem to be)
I said it after the skyline, then said it again after the s13, that i would never paint another car... but sure i will attack the k11 eventually. Good news is... its about half the size of any other car :) goodluck come time to paint! |
