my body work in progress pics 56k warning
so i finally got off my *** and started doing some work...
i'm not a full out mechanic or body shop person....
this is my first time me doing something like this so don't flame me for it.....
so here it is....don't diss the pic quality of my blackberry :P:P
sorry i don't have all the pics of the process but this is how it sits right now until tomorrow....
BTW THIS WAS ALL DONE BY HAND NO POWER TOOLS..MY HANDS HURT FROM SANDING FOR HOURS!!..
this is the only pic i have of it before
(drive side Q/P (quarter panel) before i know my tail lights are ricer :P that's why i'm looking for stock lol)
after:
driver side q/p after sanding and bondo and stuff..
my hood:
my driver fender again:
(sorry for blurry pics)
my tools :
my rear bumper
my bumper off!!
my passenger side quarter panel in progress doing one at a time
passenger side lower rust in progress as well...
my rust beside the sunroof also need to be sanded down
my clear corners which i will paint amber soon thinking of leaving them clear not sure...
my back of the car sits...(sub woofer is for sale..make a great seat lol
another shitty pic..sorry for blurriness trunk open
passenger side view...exhaust is for sale!...lol....
my ricer tail lights which i'm replacing with stock
(my dad's EL owns my car soo hard!!)
what's left to do:
finch up driver side rust
next:
passenger side rust
sunroof rust
paint!...
what do you guys think of my first time doing rust repair???
some comments would be appreciated....also any tips?...i'm finding it hard to use bondo because it so thick and hard to use...any way i can put it on w/o dropping half of it on the ground and make it stick to the car..??
this is why i don't come to meets :P...my car is not ready....:P:P..but soon time it will be!!

don't want to discourage you, but what your doing there is just a band-aid. the rust will be back in 2 months. the proper way to do it is to cut out all the rust, and then re-weld in a new peice. even then it may come back.

yup i know about the metal thing, and i did use a metal...
and trust me i sanded down like there was no tomorrow and you can see pure metal..nice n shiny ....
the pics is not much, but this is my first step i'm thinking of adding another layer of bondo on top...
also i used rust protection after i sanded the rust out to prevent it....

Im guessing he doesnt wanna take it to a shop because he wants to be able to look back at his car and say he did that, anyone can go pay a bodyshop to do it, but he wants to take the time and effort. Good stuff man, just make sure to do it properly the first time... lol. Keep it up.

i am taking my time...i borrow my friends welding tool and did some welding and stuff...buh no body has a sand blaster so i gotta use my freaking hand to sand all that shyt down.....aside that i don't mind doing it.....
