Hey guys, well here it is. My 71 1.7! I'm anxious to get started. First thing I want to do is sand the body down and start the primer process. First Question, what grit sandpaper should I use to begin with to start to get some surface rust off as well as the old paint? I want to get it down to metal and go from there, inside and out. The car also came with 2 trans and I want to know how I know which one came with the car? Sorry for all of the stupid questions, but I'm a nube! Also gonna post a link to more pictures in a post to follow this. I will also add the VIN number to the database on here...

thats an ambitious goal to be done by july! but getting it blasted and primed will certainly help. If I had mine blasted it would have come back in two 5 gallon buckets haha. 5 lug conversion depends on what wheels you want to use. good luck man (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I really want to do solid black fuch style wheels. If I could find 4 lug wheels that look the way I want, I would just stay with the 4 lugs. The only thing I think we are missing on the forum is an emoji of a smiley face burning $100 dollar bills, can someone get on that please. Would make for a much quicker daily update to build posts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
