um...progress??

Ok, so I've finally got around to doing some work. most of the holes in the engine bay have been welded up, tops of the shock tower mounts have been patched/welded and filled.

Another shot of the filler work, looks ugly, but a lot of it is sanded off.
Other side of the bay, more filler work, and more sanding..oh the joy.
Once everything was sanded, I hit the bare metal spots with some self etch primer, and then most of the bay is primed. I decided, again, to change colors after I saw pix of the new GTR, and decided on Gun Metal Grey Metallic.
Another shot, still had some work to do by the master cylinder mounts
So while that was done, I decided I wanted to chrome the 1/4 window posts, so out they came..and more surprises...
one corner was completely rotted. this would came and bit me in the ass later..
another shot of the great rot.
SO...I had to go and make a new section , tacked welded, this will be cleaned up and welded in before I send this out to get chromed.


some holes patched, and welded shut.
Schools back in session in a few weeks, I gotta get this bay done before then!
