I've just read through the whole topic. You've done a fantastic job on the car Bunny, and thank you for taking the time to photograph the process too.
It really does look great now its going back together
You have inspired me to go out and replace my blown fog lamp bulb Laughing

Thank You !!

First of all im not dead Razz just busy with finishing my studies and all other things.

But good news - bumpers and all kind of plastics are finally finished !.



Original wiper arm is painted with some ridiculous spray paint - or whatever it is.  I have sanded it down , primed with epoxy primer and than it was painted with black base + clear coat. Now it won't peel off ! and looks great in sunlight  Cool





Working on bumpers was a real pain for me. Front bumper was broken and welded, then a lot of body filler was applied. Photos are not showing real life result. I will take car out and take photos .. soon  Very Happy   .





As You can see here i have changed my rear bumper. There will be no bumper lights any more and blanking holes was more expensive than used bumper...  I bought some used from import versions and repainted it ..







As You can see its close to some final result. I have to put bumpers on, finish this &^$% rear lights and put interior back inside. I will have to do something with scratched interior panels. I still don't know how to do it  Rolling Eyes but i will figure something out Smile.

Bumpers are looking really good. Hope your studies are going well too.
I had to remove my back bumper to get at some rot and the metal inner parts of the bumper turned to dust. The tail lights were not in very good condition either so now I have trailer lights bolted to the body, not the prettiest look but got it through the MOT Laughing

drinksoptional , technically its easy but require some stamina Razz . I would say go for it, its not moon landing Smile

I don't even know where to start Smile . Car is finished in 95 % - just few interior bits and few minor things all around the car.

Lets finish bumpers maybe.



All metal bumper mounting  parts were sandblasted.



Everything is covered in anti rust wax



I sealed all holes around fog-lights to prevent moisture and in result - rust.





I was very lucky to find this brand new rear bumper mounts Razz for silly money. Its also sealed as it should be !



--------------------------

Now lets move inside.  I knew that something was wrong with this floor part almost 2 years ago when i removed all interior. Guess what, i was right Smile . Between 2 steal sheets i found some my worst enemy - rust. So i cut one sheet out, welded another to the floor and sealed everything correctly . It happens on both sides of the car. On driver side it was not that bad.






-----------

Then i moved more to the rear of the car Smile . I cleaned all small rust spots on the floor and then i applied some rubber coating .




Then i ripped out all old stinking floor mats and replaced it with new foam type ones.


old one


new one.

----------------

Then it was time for rims refurbishing. After painting it looks like new.



and my old wheel nuts covered with new chrome Smile



-----------

I promised myself that i will take photos after everything will be finished but for now i will show You how it looks right now. On the roof You can find dust collected for 2 years Razz. After final polish i will post some better photos. Lets say it just some place holders Smile















Now im trying to finish interior and some small bits around the car. I think im very close to the end Smile. Car made 240 km !!! since rebuild Very Happy . I will keep You updated.
