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 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.

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..

Little BIG Update ROFL

Hi guys, got a little update or big, at least it was a big amount of time and work but it doesnt look much i guess..

I started with sanding more of the car,
then pasted again and sanded more and more..
god i love sanding

but anywho.. After the sanding days were done (for now )
i started to take my Radiator off because i thought it was leaking.. after full inspection no leak...
then we checked the oil cooler.. also no leak, so im gonna refresh the hoses going to the radiator and oil cooler.
while i was doing this the radiator really lloked fucked up.. so i got to cleaning and also did my oil cooler while i was at it

so here are some pics, if you have read this, you;ll understand the Pictures











Also took my windows out BTW xD easy job

























DONT WORRY its just a Primer











thank you for watching, tomorrow im going back, gonna do some cool stuff

next update will be a pretty big deal, but i am not going to spoil it

[JHermes]

so fast next update
whent buying paint, and did paint some stuff,
not everything is finished but its in progress

also have a somehow little basecoat on the trunk lid.
so everything is getting there, slowly but surely

have fun with the pictures!















And some sort of end result, need to clean the black piece a bit, but thats all and then it looks Freakky Funky Fresh!!



like anybody bothers reading this xD
but next week on monday my car is very probably going into the cabin for the base coat/Primer

cya at the next update guys!

[Gamerx]

Nice work, keep it up.

[JHermes]

Nice work, keep it up.

thank you sir

[JHermes]

so guys, has been some time,
have done allot of stuff on the Benz

i am also getting more and more motivation to get it all done, since all the exteriour stuff is almost done. like the sanding cleaning and all that kind of stuff

But also some little bit of bad news, lost my wallet, with everything in it.. so that is a bummer.. and also had a very tiny car accident with my Daily Seat



so now it has a half Black front, not gonna spent any more money on it, since im gonna drive my Benz as a Daily wen its road worthy and aproved to be road legal.

so this is how the Seat looks now



now lets get on with the Good Stuff ( i.m.o.)

Cleaned and sanded my Propellor



then sprayed a base coat on it



And Gave it a color!



After that i started scrubbing my Oil Cap..??
dont know why, but after a few minutes it looked hella great,!!



so thats done, but then my Valve Cover looked so damn neglected that i had to make it beautifull too!



Then More Fun Started!!
K&N FILTER'S 4 THA WIN!!





So that gave me a Huge BOOST, i got that feeling like you do something for the first time and everybody says it will be hard and then you NAIL IT!

Also I put my Oil Cooler aside Friend



Then some Real shiit started, Yeah I'm Serious! now the real shiit starts!!!

















So after all that Awesomeness Yeah AWESOMENESSESES

i started sanding on the doors again, prepping them for Color!!
so this is sanded..



then I sprayed some kind of Degreaser over it and it looked beautifull
(dont know if its normal or a spell of Gandalf, but the guy that teeching me said: now it will look like it has paint on it.. so if you see anything unregular.. then you will also see that in the paint job) SCARY shiit joh.. didnt wanted to ruin my paint job, so I know now how inportant it is to sand it good and Smooth.. By HAND.. EVERYTHING



My Sun Roof ,The ones that read this thread will notice the differences from how it looked before..



So after lots and Lots of sanding the whole car, it was ALMOST ready for paint.. but 1 thing must happen before that.. Bodysealer?? dont know how to say it in english but its for little stones that come up while driving so your car wont damage and rust in the bottom part

Taped it down











NOW i just need to sand the rest of the parts Nice tight and Clean
Like this thing that has been Used as a Table or something for the last few Days



So thats it for now Guys!!
Monday probally Paint, and somewhere Wednesday i can get some Pictures of it

HOPE U ALL ENJOYED THIS UPDATE AS MUCH AS I DID
