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...

Hey, good to see some pictures. I just asked Mike the other day about you. Car is looking good and clean. Thanks man! I got slammed with work for about a month and wasn't able to do much, but I went the other day and bought a mig welder and a plasma cutter and we are back in business! Hope to have the new floor pans and the patches on a couple other areas welded by the end of the week, then its on to body work! It's going on the rotisserie in the morning, I'll be able to do some fast work once that happens. Eric Gardner at Restoration Media blasting has been awesome. He has basically given me free reign in his shop to work and he's helping a ton! I'm ready for our reassemble day and get this thing on the road, hopefully complete by Okteenerfest!!! |
