Third Gen Restoration - Prepping for Paint
| I don't really enjoy bodywork because I'm not very good at it, but I'm going to give it a try. I'll even attempt to paint the car myself. That should be interesting. The first step is getting all of the body components stripped down to see what needs to be done. |
 I'm going to bring it back to bare metal. The original paint had checked. |
 Just giving it a light coat of spray bomb zinc primer until the whole body is ready for sealer. |
 This is going to take a long time... |
 I'm using the doors from the 85 because they were in perfect shape and needed no repair. I bought the front fender years ago. |
 Now that it's turned around I can start on the driver side. |
 I naively thought I could take the T-Top weather stripping out without damaging it. Didn't happen. It looks pretty clean under there, though. |
 The T-Top bar is rusty in the usual spots. I won't know if it's salvageable until I get it out. At least the screws came out without any trouble. |
 It looks pretty good under the T-Top bar, that's a good sign. |
