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...

Looks good, the only problem I have with braces in that location is you cannot put the door back in periodically to check gaps as you progress.

Make a jig out of wood or scrap metal to slip in place every once in a while, or just measure NOW and along the way. Make marks on both sides so you know where your measurement should be taken each time. Spread the welding out to reduce heat concentration and use compressed air to cool the spot. |
