Body Work Needed "Before" pictures.
Here are the obvious rust spots and body blemishes that need repair:
Left rear bumper lip paint is cracked.
Rust spots penetrated through passenger roof
Car came with body molding strip pins but missing all of the molding. I will have these filled in.
The hood grill vents are showing some rust spots.
The left rear fender and underbody show rust spots that need fixing.
This is the worst of the car that needs fixing but not the only!
Car is scheduled for rust repair the end of September.
These are the rust repair in progress photos:
The passenger top had a lot of hidden rust.
The truck pan was fabricated to replace rusted panels.
Left rear quarter had rust blisters through the paint
All of the body striping was sanded off to re-do better factory looking stripes.
The side molding strips were missing so I had them ground down and filled in smooth.
There was water coming into the truck around the rear window channel. I had to pull the window to repair the hidden rust.
The Laguna finally comes home for the first time.
I pulled the grills and blacked over the supports and openings. I also picked up a better grill set from eBay that was in better shape and didn't have any missing fins.
Just about done and then off to the paint booth!
The car sits in the paint booth after a few coats of antique white and lined off for the body stripings.
After the painting, being finished off!
Home At Last!
The driver's door had a bad gap from a precious repair job and over excited grinder that had to be fixed:
That gives me the chance to get the side accent stripes painted wider!
I found decal inserts to go in the emblems.
