70 at the sandblaster PICS
« on: October 18, 2005 - 05:12:55 PM »
Hopefully I get it back this week.  It needs a new roof skin (I have to find one) maybe a trunk pan and a ps door.  Other than that it doesn't look too too bad.  Any tips on reskining the roof?  They are priming it w/ epoxy primer there before it comes home.

That looks great, I think if I blasted mine I would have had more holes than metal,I could only handle dealing with small areas at a time!
Someone tried a "sun" roof??? dang shame, it looks pretty solid otherwise, can the metal be reworked? Rich.

Yeah, I'm curious how much it would cost too. My car needs it sooo bad. has alot of rust and what not. What are you gonna do for undercoating?? I can't stand how my undercoating always looks all dirty and nasty. Seems like no matter how much you wash. it still looks like its dirty-brown.

When I had my car media blasted, it cost about $1100 to do the entire car inside and out.  That also was the hood, deck lid, doors,  and front valence.

The convertible I had media blasted and it cost me $1200 with an extra hood.  That included everything from the underside of car the to inside of the doors.  Worth it to me!!
