Well got some work done today..

I sanded the hood and guard down today to get it ready for painting. I used 3m p400 sand paper..
The hood and guard had heaps of chips and i had to sand extra in those spots so it would all be smooth.
I also found some audi a3 wheels siting around my house that were bored out to 4x100

should i leave them on??

I go pictures below.

(took heaps of pictures lol)

You're making me want a Mk1 as a project car!

Keep up the good work

I hate sanding, the sound ****s me!

$1500 is a normal price for a good gun. My dad had one worth about the same, he said it still wasnt as good as the ones in the UK....both where stolen haha.

Nice to see it coming along, the Audi wheels look mint.

Gordan mate, those spots on the roof still need some more sanding.

I've got the same thing on my roof of my car. There is still rust there & it'll come back soon if you don't get rid of it entirely.

unless you used a rust convertor on theose spots. even then, I've taken all the spots on my roof right back to bare metal. Better to be safe than have a rusty roof again in a few years!

**16v_kid** · 01-03-2009, 02:52 PM

most of them are to the metal but you cant really see in the photo because of the contrast.

I put port 15 rust ready on it. So it should be all good.

Thanks.

Gordan
