small boring update today:

decided to re-do the passenger side door because it wasnt as straight as i wanted it to be


and finished the driver side too


i also started to work on the front end

heres a shot of the only damage on the hood

2.5 hours later...

the dent grinded down and ready to be pulled. the two spots with paint on it still are the deepest spots of the dent


thats all for today. if im not too lazy before work ill plug the holes on the front doors and trunk lid. thanks for all the bumps once again.

stretch..im not cool enough for NWP =P

That part goes to the window glass. It is what you thread your 10mm into to hold the glass to the track. Maybe you had a broken window at one time and when they replaced it, it fell in the door and was never taken out. Those things are bonded to the glass with rubber spacers.

Yah, if it is not on there your window will fall out of the track when it binds up because there is only one bolt holding it on now. Unless it is from an old window of course. If you have the door panel off just look inside and make sure that your window is bolted to the track. That's all.

The only thing I would've done if you're doing the holes like that is use fiberglass filler as it won't ghost later on down the line. The bondo might shrink and you'll have little squares showing in your paint later on.

Nice job on the DA though.

I see where you're coming from. I know that's common with using bondo but the filler I'm using is meant to resist shrinkage. Its actually evercoat rage extreme filler its about $60+ a pop.

I only use Rage Gold and Extreme.

It shrank on a trunk lid I did the same thing to cus the guy didn't want to pay to weld it. But BUMP for you.

And Extreme is only 40 a gallon.
