spudly13 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 For those who haven't seen my other thread Start here: http://community.ratsun.net/topic/42212-bagged-and-boosted-71-4dr-510/ I picked up this new shell from james on sunday. After my evening classes yesterday, I got it unloaded, pressure washed, started stripping paint, and got all the sound deading out. Some pics of my old car, which is the primary donor for this build, and the rest will be used to help out some other builds When I pull it in to finish stripping parts, ill be sure to get some good close ups of the damage so maybe people will start to realize why this car wasn't worth trying to fix. The next three pictures are the worst of the rust. Quote Link to comment

I thought it was kinda funny when james said it was his old car, since I was considering his two dr for awhile as well! You could make scupltures with all that bondo Yeah... luckily its just the trunk lid, I haven't found ANY bondo on the rest of the car. Its almost a half inch thick on that lid though! Is that a Z hanging from the rafters? Now that's vehicle storage. Will be watching this for sure Yes.. yes it is, im not quite ready to give up on it, but needed the room for this! so My dad built a bracket that's bolted in up there to hang it from 2 Quote Link to comment

spudly13 Posted April 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Jeeezz you guys are pretty demanding! haha I stipped a lot more paint off today... what a pain in the ass. have the shell pretty much all the way taken apart, except for stock suspension to roll on for now. and a couple broken bolts i have to work out. I started taking apart the extra roof for the sunroof delete. and started some work shaving some stuff in the engine bay. My goal for tomorrow is to get the rest of the paint i want stripped, off, im going to have to roll it outside and do a little sandblasting in some areas. then ill pick a spot and start working my way around doing metal work... as far as lower goes... itll be a bit lower. I needed bump steer spacers, and to do some grinding on the old car to go lower, so if i do that from the get go here i should be a little lower then i was. By the end of this week i should have a lot of parts in the mail... All my window and door seals, a suspension bushing kit, new wheels, 15x9 rear, 15x8 fronts, U-joints, new brake parts, etc etc. My vision for this is not to go crazy, but for it to handle well, and be like new, AND make EVERYTHING function properly. 1 Quote Link to comment

I think your vision is a fantastic one. 1 Quote Link to comment
