Okay...

Good News:

I ordered a fender. Hope it's as good as it looks on pictures.


Bad News:

Ran into a lot of problems privately. To make a long story short, professional repaint and wheel polish is out of my price range. I'll be doing everything I can myself and try to complete the car on a VERY tight budget.

This also means that I'll paint it myself. Most likely matte.
It's not the direction I wanted to go in, but I can't afford a professional repaint in Marrakesch.

Still debating on an exact color, but I've pretty much settled on something like this:

[P78]

for a direction you didn't wanna go, that looks nice

[scaredofstance]

i like that stone greyish thing you got there. think it looks better than that metallic doo doo brown one u had in mind.

Finally got around to fixing the rear bumper.



Just some more sanding and all's good.

[BigBody]

When I'm forced to do the work on my own car I tell myself I will appreciate it more when I'm done. Good job on the bumper and keep up the good work.

[Dr.AK]

Yup, feels good to do the work yourself.



Just needs some filler, some finer sanding and then the bumper's ready for paint.

Will tackle getting the dent out of the quarter panel next!

[Dr.AK]

New fenderrrrrr

[Dr.AK]

Woooh!

Thanks again to K.rischan for the bumper

[Dr.AK]

Removed some dents in the hood and threw on the rear bumper cause i need the space it was occupying, lol.

Is the paint really that bad?

[ChristopherJason]

Not the paint, really. There's just lots of small dents all over the car.

Progress!



Sanded the fillered areas on the hood



Removed 3 dents in the rear door, also removed slight rust near the holes for the side mouldings and then fillered it. Too bad I was so intelligent to not mask off the door handle completely...

[Dr.AK]

finally got around to removing the tires from my wheels.



And here you can also see the aluminium hex nut I had cnc milled because the original plastic hexes were... well, shit.
