When I bought my car it was beautiful (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Then, I decided to install a 2.4L s engine, replace the fiberglass flares with steel and convert the rotors to 5 lugs. sounds simple (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) . Except that the S.O.B. who sold me the car covered all of the rust with bondo and painted it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/hijacked.gif). After finding the rust, I decided to do a full restoration. The exowner also put bondo on the frame to make it look like it was o.k. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pissoff.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/spank.gif). I did get lucky there is only one bad rot area, that is at the passenger jack support and the bend up into the wheel well. So far I have remove 60lbs of bondo and ordered 2 rear quarter panels, 1 front fender, 1 door and some replacement parts for the frame. This is turning out to coast a lot of $$$$$$.
The worst part is that I can't do all of the work, I have no experience with welding or body work and don't know anyone in the area who does. The rest I can Handle. That's my story!!!
