The body shop can start the week of 3/7, so I plan on delivering the car there on Saturday 3/5. Got the other half of the car bead blasted week of 2/21. Spent Saturday 2/26 re-installing the major panels and prepping the portions of the car not bead blasted. The bead blasting sure removes any prior body filler, let's just say I have found some "opportunities" for the body shop.
Here's four major views of the car from the four corners:
Here's a closeup of the passenger door, I was not aware that it had been hit and repaired:
Here's a view of the passenger side windshield mounting area, kinda ugly, had quite a bit of filler in there. There is a tap plate that the windshield bolts go into, when this prior repair had been done they replaced the tap plate, I found the old one inside the front fender, was rusted real bad.
There here's the rear passenger side fender:
Looks like the passenger side was hit several times over the years.
The driver's side front was also hit, damaged the front clip and the inner fender. Front clip also has some rust issues down low:
Then there's the passenger side front fender, I knew it has rust issues down low, here's some of the swiss cheese there:
Well, Darrell is good, and I am delivering him the car with all rusty bolts loose with the nuts all tapped so it's easy to get the parts on/off. But he will definitely have some fun welding this thing back together!
