A damaged rear driver side quarter
panel was replaced from another car, rather than re-sculpted in plastic body filler.
The original spot welds on both panels were drilled out. |
| A metallic based body compound was
mixed and used to fill the b-pillar seam, then scraped smooth and sanded after drying. |
 |
 |
Seam sealer was used in the stock
locations in the trunk and inner fender well. |
| The replacement panel's edges were
matched to the body, clamped and welded. The weld spots are sanded flush and primed. |
 |
 |
After the drive train and front frame rails are
removed, the underside is cleaned down to the factory paint to check for rust spots. |
| Straight front frame rails are selected from a parts
car, and prepared for sandblasting. |

|
|
 |
The doors, interior, dash and glass has been removed. |
 |
|
|
 |
Cracks in the driver and passenger side A pillars were
discovered after the interior panels were removed. The door opening is measured and
the crack is welded shut. |
| Upper and lower control arms are sandblasted in
preparation for treatment with Por15. |
