bonnet and boot were bare metalled again no rust just a few dents to sort out. got the dents real close to being metal finished. so a light skim of filler was all that was needed. All sealed up in epoxy,

and stripped the dash out. will attempt to repair the cracks and wrap it.

So to fit the toyota surf booster had to get this spacer plate machined. went from 30mm ish down to about 12mm thick.

Ma70 rear brake setup acquired for the hilux rear end.

Cleaned up the chassis. Used stone guard and some 2 pack gloss black. Was quick and easy and should give some decent protection.

Thanks guys. alot of long days and nights in this build. hard to believe this has all happened in 1 month.

 

so got the crown body over to my shop.

20150807_115952.jpg

 

started bare metalling the body and found some things. extra dents i knew nothing about. (full of bog) and some extra rust. photos of rust will be up over next few days. quite a bit of metal work to do.

Day one got us that far.

well this dent made me angry. was really deep and was bogged up. Steel around the tail light was so thin that as soon as i hit it with a hammer it split. major PITA

so before. and afters. with more time i could probably get it perfect but i'm happy enough.

then fuel filler rust.

cut shit out. decided to remove the cup. made a new piece and got most the way through welding it in.

spent a long time beating another large dent in bottom of the same quarter. will post pics later when its done

will hopefully finish up with the fuel filler tomorrow.

Those dents don't look that bad... when I stripped my car back I found the front inch (not exaggerating) was built out of bog, both quarter panels. They had also tried to panel beat them and stretched the metal so thin it couldn't be fixed.

Rear quarters both sides had dents about an inch deep in front of the back wheel arch, filled with bog (no rust underneath some how).

 

I'm sure you'll have her looking perfect in no time ;)
