Ok, finals are over, so now I can transfer, but more importantly, work on my car for the next month before I go back to class!
Today, I was actually able to get some parts completed. Stripped down the suspension to bare metal using the wire brush, not sure to make it red or black, leaning more to black, what do you think? (IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/IMG_0264.jpg) Also, started to work on the engine bay. It looks really good underneath. We had checked it before, but this is the first time I've been able to see the details.

Since the site got nocked down, I don't know how many people saw my last updates, but heres more...
There was a pretty good size dent here that I knocked out.... (IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/IMG_0268.jpg) (IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/IMG_0269.jpg) No more rattle-can-blue-fender! (IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/IMG_0270.jpg) Prepped the trunk and removed all the sealant, gonna put in undercoating and such here. (IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/IMG_0274.jpg) (IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/IMG_0275.jpg) Fount a few rust spots.... (IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/IMG_0276.jpg) (IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/IMG_0277.jpg) (IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/IMG_0272.jpg) The previous owner must have had stock in Bond-O, because this dent was filled heavily with it (IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/IMG_0273.jpg) (IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/IMG_0271.jpg) |

You have so much work ahead of you. Have you thought about just replacing the trunk rather than repairing all the rust holes?
I'd be afraid of the rust growing in the places you can't get to |

When I actually do find rust, it is so isolated, it is rarely a problem. |

Update after a months of nothing-ness. I guess my Father decided to bless me with a bigger engine, though we are not sure yet.
In the past month.... Bought the engine mount Prepped the engine bay (to be painted this weekend) Bought Zenith carbs Cut away the rust in the middle of the trunk (Welding this weekend) Stripped the whole trunk in fear of rust |

So since I started Spring Break yesterday, I was able to get in a good 4 hours on my car today.
Finally lift it up, and got all the undercoating on the front two wheel wells off. Seemed kinda pointless, because I'll be putting it back on. Pictures tomorrow. Oh! And tomorrow, I pick up my engine! |

John I think I might have fallen victim to my Dads bribe, and I'll go Orange and get the 2.2 (he wants two Orange 6's). Either that, or a 2.0 I'm excited! My plan is to have it done by April 20th, my bday |

How do you open the photo bucket pictures? I'm wondering the same thing. A lot of them say its been moved or deleted. Sad cuz I would like to see all the progess of the work and not just part of it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) |

Unfortunatly, Photobucket is being a jerk. I had all my pictures of my project in a general folder. Deciding that I wanted to be more organized, I put them in a specific folder, this caused them to be seen as 'moved'. I'll post them back.
For now, here's more... |

Joe adding some primer to the front, I hope to get the front portion under the bumper covered in Rubberized undercoating.

Painted trunk, I want to do Rubberized Undercoating here too, and leave it black, despite the color of the car.

Forgot to add these from Friday.
Got under the wheels, took off the front suspension, and got at that old undercoating! (IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/914Work014.jpg) |
