What kind of prep work did you do on it to begin with?
Well, when I got the car, the quarter panels and roof (underneath the vinly top) had some major rust issues.
I got a body shop to fix that as I'm not much of a metal worker. After a few disagreements with the body shop, I decided to finish the rest myself. I sanded the car all the way down, replaced front and lower valences because the old ones where too bent to fix, and used a little bondo on dents and dings here and there. But glad all that's finally over!
