Update- I rough sanded everything including bumpers and now im gonna fine sand everything and get dings and rust ready for bodywork.
ALSO!! I organized part of my garage to be able to park my car in there =] and theres enough room for all the body work and paint! i thank weed for this. got blazed n put myself to work. Ill take pics soonly. girlfriend stole my camera again.
FURTHERMORE i Changed my fuel filter, damn i feel acomplished.

That thread inspired me to do this. lol my roof was rusting and my trunk was too since i removed the spoiler.
UPDATE: got caught in the rain getting primer from ace hardware. Gettin ahead of myself. . . Now im drying my car off in the garage with heaters.
Also removing bumpers, reading up on how to right now. Rear bumper screws are a little rusted so i sprayed PB Buster on it to soak for a bit.
Futhermore does anyone know how to remove side moldings? or do you think it would look better painted with the car?

Well from what ive heard they're safer. Its water vapor, such as a vaporizer you would use for smoking herb =] . Theres only nicotine from electro cigs. No tobacco or any of that other jazz.

This is becoming more body work than i expected. This absolutely sucks. This is my daily and i hate having it sit in the garage, going out there every 45 mins to do something. -sigh- i wish i bought a car somewhere it doesnt rust. I FUCKING HATE RUST.

Yeah my pops was all giddy when i showed him the e-cigarettes i had to give it to him. He looked like he would enjoy it more than i would. But i liked it, menthol is best.
Unfortunately i didnt weld the holes shut =[. i just fiberglassed underneath and body filler on top. I just learned how to do those two things lol. As for the rust im grinding it all down to the metal and using rust neutralizer and also my primer helps remove rust =p. Im trying to make as many precautions as i can. But this is a rattle can paint job =D so it doesn't have to be perfect. Especially with winter coming up.
Update- I have my car primed to see all the little imperfections, except my bumpers. The rear one is still attached cuz this damn screw stripped on me. So im sanded it on the car still, meh i need to get a new rear bumper. Mine is all sorts of fucked up bottom right of it. Im not digging it at all. Hopefully hb42o can sell me his 90-91 bumper [ Question, will the bumper be a exact fit? i havent searched yet but i might as well ask here too.]
Well sorry if i blabbered a little bit, im a tad bit blunted.
OH and also is there like a putty of some sort that is used to fill in tiny scratches in bodywork? like a lighter, slow drying body filler type deal.
Wtf. . . thanks for all your inputs and whut not ahead of time.

Update- Used body filler on low spots and touched up with spot putty. About to get my last sanding down in a bit when the bondo drys. Then prime and paint =]
Heres some pictures.
Question, Should i paint the grill part white also? seems like a pain in the ass to tape up. Also the licsense plate holder, should i do a delete and move the licsense plate to the right side of the bumper? seems fairly easy.
Mmmmm White Castle.
Thanks ill take more pics later.
