Hello everyone, I'm new here so take it easy on me please? :D
iX with ~80,000 miles on the clock. Super loud transfer case, bad VC, slipping auto trans, perfect vinyl interior with heated seats.
So here's how she looked when I got it:
Cooked paint anyone? Had surface rust on the top it was so bad.
Also has some driver floor pan damage:
....
.....
Ahh, much better:
Strippers and 2X's (don't worry it wasn't open near the chemicals)
These pictures don't do any justice for how many hours went into the stripping/ feathering/prep of this entire car. I'm usually a cheap bastard but this was hard enough work I'd consider paying people to do it next time.
Husky approved
Primed:
$130 Eastwood single stage Regal Red, then $100 in various things like filler, glaze, sand paper, more sand paper, urethane reducer, primer, prep-all... $250 paint job and still needs to be color sanded/buffed.
I still need to paint the mirrors and hofmeister gills, then attach the rest of the door trim and door handles and it will be done. Color sand/buff will come later this month, along with close up pictures.
Next on the list:
215 70 R15 Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S
Manual Trans/ transfer case
