The coupe is coming along quite nicely. Weld weld weld.
Here I have to replace the 2 sides and rear section along with 3 corners.
I had to modify one bottom corner to fit it into the top left corner.
No one makes the top corners for the coupes, unless it comes complete with the rear window panel.
The boot hinges that were supplied with the car are off a sedan and are too short
:
The boot lock support has also been ratted from the car, so if we cant get one from a wreck I will have to make one.
It wont leak now.
Gotta have the GT flutes in the guards.
We wont be putting the ducks feet in the bonnet.
Put a new patch on the bottom.
Weld the holes for the badge.
Another new sill panel on this side.
Just a skim of body filler over the dents and repairs and its ready for 2k Hifill.
The boot lid is now full of body filler as it had the cancer as well.
It buckled when the patch panels were welded in where the rust was.
The best body filler I have used is the Micro Fill. Very easy to rub back with 80 grit sandpaper even if you have to rub it the next day.It is Aust made by Hi Chem in Melbourne.
The other one U Poll Fantastic this is excellent as well spreads like warm margarine.
I try all the body fillers and compare them on the same car on the same day etc..... There are a lot of crap fillers out there that require too much work to get flat quickly.
I got 4L of Wild Violet base coat to go on. Should have a little left over.
