Hey guys a friend of mine asked me if i could cut the rust out of his 55 and give it a quick paint job silly me said yes i should know better :no2:

 

So i got it over and started stripping it down to see how bad it really is and F me it's full of rust selleys space invader and bog :bash:

Both wheel arches are f'd back right door front gards/doors just about every panel has rust in it

 

So i started cutting it all out and making some new bits and welded them in

Ok the 3 3/4 of the doors and quarters are rust free at this point ready for bog :P

so after 3 days work most of the car is in 2pk primer just got the rusty gards and bonnet to go :lolcry: then it's almost time for paint next weekend

looking good man hope u didnt quote a price b4 looking a the car

yet again good work on the rust repairs.. i know how much of a pain they are (always get the rust repair jobs at work) but why didn't you's just use the blue guards and re paint them?

Thanks mate

Na those guards are for the 1jz rolla plus Neil would kill me if i used them on Matt's rolla

After looking around for a couple weeks for some good ones it was just easier and quicker to fix them (about 2hours work for both guards with a few drink breaks :P )

 

 

Well as it sits the body is rubbed down ready for paint just gotta get my painter into gear hopefully it will be painted this weekend it better i've got a HJ thats just been dropped off thats needs alot of work

If that's the case then there's several thousand words there :lol:

 

Fantastic work so far, one can't help get the feeling you do this kinda stuff for a living? :)

i really hope this isnt a p plate car or keeping the stock motor
