Hi all!!
WOW, it has been an insane amount of time since I updated this beast. While I'm not as far as one would like. I am content with the direction it's progressing.
As of now I am making a complete list of goals and necessities, continuing to strip the car as far down as i can get comfortably to paint, and trying my best to clean and polish what is staying.
Finally got the van loaded and the last of my tools over to get started.
Then took it on a final drive around for a while... good times.
utterly irresponsible
I decided I would start by tearing it all apart. 1) to paint anything and get the closest to decent i can with my overall paint job. 2) to really look closely and tweak/fix anything i possibly can.
I also tried the damaged area in aqua to see what it would look like... not a fan.
looking into the depth and extent of body work. This was so THICK!
I do still have the dash and carpet to get out of the interior.
Storing all of this at a separate location so i can get it cleaned and keep it that way.
Got bored and tried some charcoal metallic on the wheels.
I enjoy the color on the wheels and thought... would you like the whole car charcoal? NOPE!!
Well there is my lackluster update on what i have done in the last 5 months. Next on the plan is to continue to strip the car, remove any and all body filler found, and stack as many things as I can to make the car I would like to have.
Thank you for the look.
