Winston's makeover by Prodriverules
Well after much deliberation I plucked up the courage to get the car properly sorted out, and no one better than Ryan @ C+K motors to sort it out
It's suffering with rust on the rear drivers side arch and various niggles all over, I'm quite fussy
Going for a full respray, with a small twist and having various mechanical work completed whilst it's in. VF35, KS3, oil change, coolant flush, new windscreen, tints, brakes bled and probably a few things I'm forgetting right now, but the thread will be updated as things progress
Here's some pictures of it at it's best a month or two before I opted to get the work carried out
And here's a few recent close ups highlighting some of the problem areas...

So we started to strip the car today with removal of the complete front including wings.
Then onto the doors with removal of the door cards/window glass/top runner and door handles.
Finally we removed the sill covers and rear bumper/lights in preparation for sorting all the defects around the car.
The doors will be removed once we have sorted the defects in prep for primer paint.

Great start, now you'll spend the next few weeks wishing you hadn't as you drive some shed around and then when it's finished you'll be over the moon with it

So we got on with preping the shell for a high build primer run,there was a couple of dents to sort out in the N/S doors along with some dents along the tops of the quarter panels and also the O/S arch needed a bit of tlc with cutting/welding due to some rust which to be fair wasn't to bad at all and the N/S arch was completely free of rust so a very good shell as the classic's go.
Then it was time to roll her in the booth for the etch on the bare metal area's and high build primer for getting the final shaping blocked with.
The primed area's then received a guide coat ready for sanding which is the stage she is at now.

I don't like trusting the inside puller with the cancel option you can end up locked out going through the rear seats!
