skd30 Posted February 4, 2010 Author Report Posted February 4, 2010 Pulled all everythign out from under the car to tar is and found this, haddent really looked properly under there, i knew there was fiber glass in the bottoms of the quarter panels but didnt bother touchign em till i saw this, so doing alot of cutting and plating now... here progress so far. no welding yet. Here all the fiberglass/bog/rusted metal i pulled out of the rear quarters and a nice new sheet of metal ready to fill the holes :-) some pimpin roof racks (minus the clamps).. there actually a pretty nice pair. gonna stick em on every now and then for the pushy to go on the grinder bit me...my bad, least it didnt bleed Quote

skd30 Posted February 17, 2010 Author Report Posted February 17, 2010 More p;ics.....I got busy today. Put a nice set of wheels that are ment for the Ke30 when its done and gave the front left quarter panel a bit of paint where it was bent up adn straightened out again...paint had flaked off and had surface rust...looks better than before. Also got the tar gun out and did the underbody on the front half of the car, gotta finish some welding on the rear quarters tomoro and then ill tar the rest. Built up most of the steering and suspension at the front, just need to get 4 new nuts for steering with the gaps in em for split pins. will do that tomoro or friday I just stuck the struts in, i will most likely pull them out at some stage and give them a fresh coat of black and probs do the calipers in the red the rest of the car will be.
