Day 25 (Parts back, Time to get started)

Okay, so I swaped the parts for the car today. It looks like it will be a few days before I see the girl again so I have to get the parts done before she gets back. We can see the what the parts look like now after the sandblasting. Each part had some damage to it. Mostly minor except a few.

Now that the parts are back its time for some POR-15 under coating. This is somewhat of a super strong rust preventive paint. The best part is that it can be brushed on by a paint brush. This seemed easy in my mind, however, trying to fit a paintbrush in a door shell proved to be quite difficult. I went ahead and painted the inside of the 2 inner fenders and the inner doors. I did make a mess of a few areas. I should have maked off ALL the holes as paint seeped out of a few holes here and there. I will have to clean these up tomorrow before I shoot the primer.
