Easy fix. Dont weld. Use bog instead.

You can also use things like cardboard, newspaper, chicken wire and old grinding discs to fill in the gaps before you bog over it. Gives you a good base to apply your bog over.

You worry me!

You see where there have been sections put in on the lower quarters, the only thing holding those on is bog. Hence the reason I Welded them!

So today I patched up the rust around the rear window, doors and guttering and started sanding the roof but had to stop do to complaints rolleyes.gif

Even broke out the bog for those virgin metal fanatics! And Realised today that my car wont be as "Factory standard" as I said it would because i'll be de-badging it.

Try and be more consistent with your guide coat mate. An even mist over the entire panel is what you should aim for.

Coming along well. thumbsup.gif

Joel, i realized i got rid of my hubcaps with my purple car, but i do have a few others, they may not all match, but you could polish the black off them all so there all chrome and they would kind of look uniform, they are yours if you want them.

Thanks mate. Old holdens are awesome and so basic making it easy to learn from. Especially for someone like me doing their first rebuild.

Yeah dude, I'd rather hubcaps with a chrome centre and the black stripe. But I'm watching these (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Hq-hj-hx-hz-Holden-Hubcaps-Hub-Caps-/180820322443?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a19bb288b#ht_298wt_60) at the moment so depending on how I go I will probably buy them.

Joel i cleaned up my original caps the other day with a soap steel wool pad (these things are amazing) and it scrubbed the black off.

Anyway, an old trick which i'll do eventually when i redo the caps is to get a syringe with a needle end and some paint of your choice, suck the paint up and use the syringe to spread the paint into all the lowered areas that require paint and it lets you get in random hard to get spots without fucking it.

Just think, if you fuck it up let it dry scrub it off and try again!

Or just spray the whole thing and rub it back with a pad revealing all the lowered painted parts.

What i did with my rocker cover/side plates is paint the entire thing then wipe over with thinners at it brings it up well.

See photo.

That or masking it works well if you don't use too much thinners on the rag. Though with the detail in the hubcap I don't think it would work. dunno.gif Doesn't stand out enough to wipe over it.

Well didn't do much this weekend thanks to the rain and helping dad with the stato.

What we did get done however was taking the rear doors back to bear metal and patching up the rust.






Bought some mint hubcaps and dress rings as well for those who haven't read yet tongue.gif

Last weekend we cut the rust out of the cowl panel and got that in primer along with the rear doors and nosecone. My dress rings came as well.

Bit more welding / grinding and it was good.





The front has settled:

Thanks man. It should be done by wintersun as I said. As soon as it's painted and the exteriors looking good I'll be registering it then finding the bits for the interior as I go along.

Thats awesome. I'll never put something like that in my car though. If I do end up putting a v8 in it it'll just be something like a 304/308 with vn heads, Small cam, extractors, decent ignition system and a good manifold + carby set up painted in original colours so nothing really looks out of place. That way it'll still be a cool cruiser AND have a bit of power.

So bought a passenger door ( which was shit and I ended up using my original one ) and 2 guards in good condition without rust.

Got the guards on and lined up all the gaps and what not, Then sanded / sprayed some primer on the doors inside and out.

We attempted to weld in some patches in the bonnet but it just warped it, so after another bonnet if anyone has one!

Since last update we've done :

Cut the rust out of the dog leg and welded in a patch.



Gave it another coat of primer, Sanded it, Re-primed and sanded it again.






Bought the paint and paint supplies from Queensland paint supplies, sailsbury, Good guy's there. They gave me a $60.00 discount on the paint so I'm happy.


And layed some base + clear in the door jams, insides of the doors and the cowl panel.







The car should hopefully be fully painted over the easter long weekend!
