When I went to look at this car,
I was appalled to see that most of the trim had been painted black
or red.
Painted trim
Look, black eyeliner!
Why?
Even so, the beauty shines through
Such a shame!
Going for the Mustang look?
Functional interior
After removing much of the trip
and getting to work on removing the paint, I discovered that much of it
had been sanded, bondo'd, and/or fiber glassed to hide the dents. It
made for many extra hours of scraping and wiping.
It took a lot of work to get this much paint
removed!
I haven't gotten to the side trim yet.
When she came home...
With her new tail light bezels. Yes, I
did get the other set of tail light trim.
The side rails and grill are the
only two parts that I haven't been able to get to yet. The grill has
loose rusted bolts holding it on that I will have to cut and the side
rails will be a major project to get off and back on.
These parts may just have to wait until I start to get it ready to be
repainted.
Yes, there's rust that I still need to take
care of.
