The paint on the old girl was mostly original, besides the minor front end paint job, and is what you could call 'honest'. Dents, scrapes and the lingering signs of some intimate parking.
Over the past 6 months, I've been spending some time in doing some much needed body repairs. The roof, bonnet and driverside rear quarter had received the majority of the 27 years of wear. The worst of these indiscretions were discussed in my blog entry 'Dents, Scrapes and Other Body Damage'.
The bonnet and roof received the most attention, due to the damage they had.
A large dent resulted in some major ripples through the driver side rear guard even after the dent was massaged out. Too many hours went into correcting this.
Today, I did some final prep before it went off for final paint work, all door moldings, badges and unnecessary trims were removed before the car was driven to a mate who is painting the car.
As she stands before primer and paint.
A mate of mine was looking to get rid of some un-needed parts from his collection, to which I was happy to oblige. The old girl now has a pair of new tail lights.

I'll be heading over the help with final strip down on Saturday before it gets rolled into the booth in the next week or so. I can't wait!
