My daily pearl white

[bzh kevin]

Front end panels came back from blasting and are being prepared for reassembly . It's nice to see some good metal going back on the car .

Was the old seam sealer an issue? Assume it all gets blasted off regardless?

 

[bzh kevin]

Yes, everything is getting blasted off so it won't be an issue anymore . The bulkhead would have probably been in a much better shape if the sealant was applied properly though .

More update from HTDevelopments . Passenger quarter panel and rear pocket all sorted and back on the car !

 

[bzh kevin]

I was quite surprised to see that much rust under the C-pillar .

More update from HTDevelopments . The bulkhead got some new metal and the rest of the front end is getting back together fast .

 

[bzh kevin]

Arms and subframes powder coated .



Diff painted .

This looks amazing. So jealous

To say I am impressed is a huge understatement, this car will be better than it did when it rolled out of the factory

Mad respect to the garage carrying out this work, it's hard to find a very skilled workshop let alone one that consistently works on your car days on end.

Keeping my eyes pealed for the next update!

More progress update from HTDevelopments . The engine bay is now back together. The images show a quick test fit of all the front panels before the engine bay get prepped for primer and seam sealant application .

 

[bzh kevin]

More progress photos from HTDevelopments . The car is now on rotisserie, floor is taken to bare metal and repaired are being carried where needed . There is definitely more damage than I thought on the sill . The plan is to get the car painted for end of year and reassembled beginning of next year .

A few more nasty surprises found around the fuel filler neck cutout and the front of the floor that had to be sorted but everything is moving in the right direction!

More update from HTDevelopments . Of course the sills were hiding some more rust, the area was cleaned and some panels will be fabricated next week to finish the job and close off the area .

 

[bzh kevin]

 

[bzh kevin]

HTDevelopments is nearly done with the sills . Next task will be to finish the rear chassis legs and then check behind the driver rear quarter panel . After that this the shell will be ready for painting .

Was any of this rust visible from the outside before this work started? It makes me scared to find out what's going on under the paint on mine
