Hows it been going, or have you been playing with the ute?

ok update !

tonight i decided i needed to get some work done on my coupe ,so i sanded back the rear quarter and fine filled all the little air bubbles out

i think its pretty good ,not 100% but i still need to fine sand it,but at the moment ive only done it with 80 grit ,then i sprayed a thin layer of black spray piant over the top , it will stay sealed and when i need to get any little high spots out i can use the black as a marker to see where the low spots and are :D

tomorrow ill do the other side ,as the drivers side is done apart from the wheel arch ,which im not doing till i can lift the car up and take the wheels of to do :D

i also bogged a couple of little dents and stuff around the car which ill sand back tomorrow aswell
and ide like to thank brett and kat for having me on the weekend :D !!
pics tomorrow ,i would have them up tonight but i am too tired hhaa

Your tired cause you did some work, feels good doesn't it?
Keep it up mate :)

haha good one nigel !

ok so tonight i did some more bog work on the passenger side rear quarter ,and it is done at the top but i need to fill some low spots at the bottom and then sand it back agian :D

its easy to get alot done if youi have a decent orbital ,but i have got one that holds the paper realy well but is gutless and wont cut fast enough ,then i have another sander that wont hold the paper for shiet but is awsome to cut back bog ,i was thinking of gluing a paice of velcro onto the good sander and then just use stick on pads ! but still nigels sander is the best ,feels so good and its easy to get the right shape !

and with the vacume hooked up it doesnt leave any mess !!!!

Do the sticky-on sand paper thing, you can buy aerosol spray adhesive if need be, works great.
Sorry I cant lend you my orbital cause I use it for work (and at nearly $900 without the dust extractor...Hmm :)

haha ide lock it up nigel ,its worth too much to lose !

Good to here your doing some work, Got plenty velcro pads if you need some.

Havnt seen it for a while. How long till Paint?

a while ,last ime i worked on it was when brett abd nigel came around ,i think you came around didnt you jarrad ??

anyways ,now its just fine sanding and filling low spots on the rear quartersa dn then around the rear window and then maybe get started on sanding and the back end and bogging the sills ,so still a while but iom going to just keep chipping away at it until its ready for paint or i cant do something ,like welding and painting haha

thanks

ok so i finished working at 11.30 tonight ,and i got the passenger side rear window area almost finished ,i ground back most of the welds ,and i bogged the patches aswell as smoothing them off nicely and painting the area in primer

then i pulled all the brake lines out of the front aswell as the master cylinder and i then sprayed some old brake fluid on the paint to soften it up ,cos it takes for ever to get off otherwise

next i started chipping away at the under body stuff in the wheel wells, and for once i can see new ,clean ,unrusted datsun steel ,and it looks awsome ,next i am goin to finish the drivers side sill ,then do my gaurds ,its mainly bog work atm ,but its still progress and once i get some money together ill buy white acrylic and then get ready to paint it inside and out :D

so im hoping to have it done this year but i dont think it will happen ,i still have heaps of work ahead of me ! and i need to sort my ute out aswell
pics tomorrow ,ive got batterys for the camera now ,so i can put some pics up !

Looking good
