welding and sanding.. it will be fun.. they said..

so another update guys, some of my shiit got a base coat. and i welded some more stuff..
and sanded some things...
and i also did sand some panels of the car
did i mention i have sanded my car yet?
well i did,, what a terrible thing to do..

here are some pictures!
because pictures say more than words..

stuff arrived



Sanded doors untill they were as straight and tight as a 18 year old virgin



Welded this together so i will have a water tight roof..



The "Stuff" that arrived, made it flush with the rest of the body of the car..







Sanded all the doors eventually and ready for a base coat!!







Used the Jack from the trunk of the car so could work on the car



First cutted all the shit out..



Made some new shit to start rusting



And I tried something new!! nah jk just sanding






And some more rust repairs...



so theres still allot of shit to do, but im pleased they way its going. I am also very satisfied i did it all myself, except for paiting then..

I really would appreciate some tips or heads up on anything that i possibly could encounter in the future.



ha.. ha..

Nice Saab 95 hiding in the background! My dad used to have one of those.. Also; nice work on the project, curious to see how this'll end up looking.

Kun je eigenlijk met zo'n oude diesel nog wel een stad in als 'ie af is? Of heb je andere plannen voor de auto, wat motor betreft?

Yes the saab is also getting a full body rework before painting it!
And to your question: Its not a Diesel but yes in most city's they are still allowed.

my first ever weld..

En ik kom deze draad nu pas tegen omdat ... ??

Epic restorations going on here by a fellow Dutch Benz-man
That deserves my attention.

Ohja; Border Collie shopdog is always +1 kudos

Haha, misschien beter uit je doppe kijke
Nee grapje, niet veel updates gehad, maar ben er nu druk mee bezig dus komt goed

So another update, just a little one though..
here are some pictures of me welding for the first time in my life, i think it turned out pretty good!!







Then I started to sand and clean the Trunk, I love sanding things btw..





looks pretty well done imo.

And I went on a journey for finding more rust
and found this....



Yeah that just sucks, but I am glad i found it because i dont want to discover it in a year or 2 when my foot goes trough the bottom....

also orderd some sheet metal, and a piece for repairing the rear bumper on the inside.
soon more updates!!

love you all

Nice work on the body,i'm curious how it's going to turn out.
Are you going for a new colour,or just a fresh coat of paint?

P.s. er is ook een nederlands gedeelte hier op het forum,misschien moet je daar eens gaan kijken

Ow haha, dankje zal er eens kijken. En ja er komt een verse kleur op! maar eerst alle roest aanpakken en strak maken

I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this.

Keep up the good work!

thank you very much!
