The Mite
Part: 25
I finally got the Mite back from
The Stripping Shop
and it looks great:
 |
The guys at the stripping shop did a great job using plastic media to blast the paint off of all the outside and inside surfaces. The body was remarkably straight underneath the paint. |
 |
They even got inside the doors (mostly) and in all the recessed areas under the dash and on the floors. They used plastic media to keep the metal from warping. |
 |
I've removed and filled the door handles. |
 |
Here's a good look down the side showing just how straight and rust-free this car was. |
 |
The original body seams were lead filled, you can easily see the lead filler in this picture |
 |
Under the boot is nice and clean, free of paint and of grease. |
 |
The cross member, radiator mounts and front suspension mounts are nice and clean |
 |
This little gecko was hiding under some scrap metal when I went out to take these pictures. A nicer surprise than a scorpion! |
 |
Next: Body filler and a lot of sanding. |
