These pics are of the first real stage of the body work. The whole rear of the car (A-pillar back) has been stripped to bare metal and is now coated with a blue sealer. The right rear quarter panel has been replaced but is not welded on yet.
This is the back end after being primed with the blue sealer.
Left quarter panel. We have started filling in the low spots that are up near the roof.
This is the new quarter panel skin hung in place. A word of advice-don't buy Taiwan sheet metal, it doesn't fit well without modifications.
This door is completely finished and all it needs is a final prime before painting.
This is the roof after being stripped and sealed. Many of the dents were pulled out but a few need to be filled.
Here is the roof after being filled, primed, and sanded smooth. It is completely done now.
Here is the left quarter panel. It is also finished as well.
This is the left front fender after being primed. There are a few more spots to finish up and then it can be sanded and finished.
This is the rear tail light panel. It is completely done now.
Here is the driver's side door. There are a couple spots to finish and then it can also be sanded. There is currently a different door on the car.
The trunk lid is finally done now. It took a lot of work but all that is left to do is sand it smooth.
Here is the left side of the car. Everything is basically done on this side. The red door is a spare and will not be staying on there.
This is the right rear quarter panel. There has been a new skin welded on and all that is left to do it finish out a few deep scratches.
Here is the right front fender after being sanded down and having a patch panel welded in. It is now sealed, filled, and primed, and only a bit more work is needed.
