Default I would like my body line back, thanks (build)

I've been driving my car far too long in this condition so i decided it was time to completely repaint it.

To do:
Knock out all the putty from the previous owner
Weld in my new quarters
Prep/Paint 92-95 SI black with red flake
enjoy :D

Before (sorry for the cell phone pics)

^My strut came up and hit my hood

^putty chipping everywhere

^hit a guardrail


After about 2 hours of work today

^The real panel on this is bent inwards a little bit

^some one put an ex door on so ill have to fill in the holes

workinnn


I used an air chisel to knock out most of the putty and started sanding a little with a DA sander but it became to dark so ill start bright and early tomorrow. Any suggestions/comments welcome :D Also, does anyone know where I can order a quality fitting drivers side fender?

fixing rust consists of sanding it off (if its surface rust)... or doing a panel replacement, or panel patch.... in essence thats how u fix rust....

this is nothing u cant handle, good luck

Holy cow, this is a big project. I can't belive how much filler is in there. Glad to see you're trying to fix it right!

Good luck with it!
