New Member/Rust Removal
Whats up guys! My first post is a fun one. Finally got to start the rust out on my 8! Started by grinding the old rust out, fiberglass(where needed), Bondo and spot filler. The whole car is getting dipped Balloon White after completion. And the wheels are getting dipped a granite metallic. I am just going to start off with a few pictures with some light captions. Once it is finished and i can post on the DIY thread I will go more in depth!

Sorry :( https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...f6c1447306.jpg This is the worst of the rust after it was grounded out. We used a dremel for most of this work https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...96b672af9a.jpg Driver side, also where the rust hole was. I used a combo of Fiberglass, Bondo, and Spot Puddy. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...0700aafeb9.jpg Same thing on the passenger side, a lot less rust over here. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...7b421ae847.jpg Primer on the driver side https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...14226d1302.jpg Same for the passenger side https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...99cb63b67b.jpg My aero flares..but not the standard install. I decided to fiberglass everything in. Why not!? https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...6d4e96ff27.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...3ce485dae7.jpg Made a great decision going with fiberglass! https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...443eb84814.jpg This is a bumper lip I ordered. Love the added style. Do you think I bolted it?? Nah https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...e2beedf847.jpg Cause fiberglass looks better :) https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...13e0dcca0c.jpg Worked on the engine cover https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...5798adf236.jpg Magnaflow exhaust. Misc.... https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...659e163013.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...070ab2f05b.jpg |
