A few weeks ago, a good friend showed me how to do some body repair on a used door that I bought from a VW junk yard. He repaired one dent, and made me do all the rest - a good teaching method! Now that I got the hang of it, I have more confidence about doing the whole car. While it may not be perfect, it should look fine for a teenager's first car.
I've started stripping the body parts off the car, and had the two rear fenders sandblasted. They need some major body work and starting with bear metal seems like a good idea. My next post will show some actual dent removals, using a stud welder and body filler.
Later. ;)
