Alright so months ago I removed my spoiler and all badges off the trunk. Well I had quite a few holes there from that so today I took care of them.

First I grinder away the paint.
Then mig welded the holes (plug welds)
Then ground them down so they were down a bit
Da sanded the trunk with 80 grit
Then put some filler in the spots and sanded it again with 80 then finally with 180 on a long board
After it was all smooth raddle canned it with some primer sealer.

 

Very nice! Having a welder around is always handy. Where do you pick yours up at?

 

I got mine from the victor rep in pa. I got him a gig pushin his stuff at wyotech and he gave me a good hookup. Mig comes in handy. I have a Lincoln 225 tig for ac tig as well. But this 2--I is a 110 and 220 and does mig tig and stick I love it and welds like a dream.

 

Looks good. My Mig is junk. Thought a small one would be good for exactly this stuff, but it's just not enough power to do anything.

 

Yeah I had two others in the past hobbiest line ones from Lincoln and Mac and nether were any good to tell ya so I understand.

 

Ok so here is a daytime pic of last nites project. And here are two sneak peak pics of what's to come next weekend.

 

Uh oh.... Do you I see project coming??

I like the look of the badges myself, completes the look of the whole rear end area... JMO

The filling, sanding, and primer looks great. Always nice when the DIY comes along just as you want it.

I might have a R154 for sale...... HINT......

 

Send me price shipped to 15748 and is it setup for sc. What's it come with.

 

Nice work

 

cool man ,,but 180 is pretty agressive, hope your sanding marks dont show up after u spray a high gloss finish

 

Looks good, that mask sucks i own same exact snap on one. Yeah did you hit it with 320 before primer? btw i hope you not planning on painting over rattle can primer that **** shrinks. I like it with no spoiler i might just have to go wingless for next season when i respray the car.

 

Slick top yaaaahhhhh

 

amazing work, good job

 

Looks good, keep it up

 

Came out good, but like other people mention sand it with a finer grit and use a better primer.
