Right it got to the point where i had not been near the pickup due to too many work hours and a highly demanding girlfriend.....


Now i have a bigger power sander MWHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! (no i didn't murder the girlfriend, tempting but no......)


Its to dark for photos, but on the rear passanger side i attacked. There was in places upto 3mm or more of filler..... the muppet that did the "body work" must of had a back log of filler and a hobby of sculpting (badly)


The drivers side of the car is not too bad ( i hope), there where far less cracks coming through, fingers crossed.

The front end is going to be patched up for now (this year), so id the floor, I want to drive the blo*dy thing. Its been too long since it was on the road.

It will never win a show, be in a magazine or be the fastet. But it will be driven and thats what matters...


Oh and the paint job, black paint! lots of black paint!!!!

Now where did i put that beer..... to the fridge!!!!!!!

Just done the same thing mate, I know how you feel. It'll come good in the end though if you do it properly and don,t leave any gaps in your filler. :proud:

many beers!!! the beers are almost gone..... why do the beers always go?


anyway, thanks miniboo, i can now remove those photos and add new ones..... still have not done the photo bucket thingy bob...


well, i found my power sander in the form of an angle grider with an uber flap sandy wheel thingy (a highly technical term i belive....) got to be fecking carefull though, can damage the metal if im not.


Im going to run with matt black paint, don't think i have seen a pick up with it (this is not a point to pull out a 300 year old thread to prove me wrong....)


now where is the beer.....

ra!
