Here's a few pics of the Special Edition restoration project that I am doing in my limited spare time. (Sorry about the size of the pics...any smaller, and it would be hard to see the detail)
Wheel wells before. Notice that the undercoating had a bad reaction with the white paint that was placed overtop of it by the previous owner. Rust was starting to form under the undercoating everywhere. The only solution was to remove everything down to bare metal and start over.
Driver's side wheel well after wire-wheeling and sandblasting down to bare metal and then coating with POR15.
My makeshift sandblasting booth for the front of the car. Dust still gets *everywhere*, but at least the sand and debris stays inside the booth.
Sandblasting the engine bay. The shock tower has already been coated with POR15 when this pic was taken.
Sandblasting and prepping this side of the engine bay. Still need to weld in the new replacement panel.
Passenger's side wheel well with POR15 coating. (a little dusty from the sandblasting in the engine bay)
