inside paint on front guards.

more progress,the prep goes on,inside paint work from firewall to front of car. bonnet

basecoat and clearcoat on,done at home the painting, engine and front guards next.Trying to get a day that's not winding or wind blowing in to garage, I did wet the floor before spraying,careful not flick water off air hose onto job.Once inside work painted, bolt on panels,and sand outside , and paint outside.

sanding primer on inside areas, fine scotch pad or p500 sanding pads fro from DA sander.forgot to take pictures of sanded areas, so no before shot.

Hi, Nice Brumby (brat) most are knocked around or age related problems.Rust was bad on them.was keen on a ute not much room to push the seat back.nice subarus cheers for comments.

guide coat black

hopefully enough primer on for wetsanding ,or spot prime?

3 wet coats of primer ,4 on outside parts

more sanding

block sanding p240

repaired rear 1/4 panel 8months ago,now the small area fixed, rear quarter accident damage, filler work poorly done shape wise,ground filler out and redo,filler covers just about the whole 1/4 panel,not much else you can do with it.

redo filler work

oops double posts ,please remove them.black stone chip on sills.

sanding down the body from windscreen to back of car,reseal seam joins as removed old stuff from repairs,stone chip sills,rocker panels, as my filler lines wonky on bottom,stone chip disguises it,as did not want to go back and redo,sill edge was damaged and dented from 4wdriving or jacking the car on it in places,quite soft,block sand some funny bits,wonky lines and slightly under filled bits. redo bits wasn't happy with,and use green scotch pad on fiddley bits.

Was going get the engine for internal bits,cosmetic stuff if useable,decided not to,no room. like the leone wagon pic you have,had a sedan while ago. Thanks for heads up..
