Hi guys,

I'm at the point where I'm starting to realise why don't I give it a go since I don't like paying someone else to do it.

I thought its about time I did something to the car on my own, besides washing the thing.

I have a link here, have been trying to figure out if there are more parts to do or is this it?

Sounds simple enough if you have a spare day available.

If I were to follow this, I can't go wrong right? Hopefully not.

I wanted to see what you guys think.

Cheers,

Bernard

Use WD40/CRC on the nuts and bolts before you try to undo them, its easy as long as you have a fairly good tool kit. Some nuts and bolts are bl00dy hard to get to and/or get a decent swing on, be patient, take your time. When reassembling use nickel or coppercote on all the nuts and bolts etc.

Yea I thought I would need a lot of WD40.

I'll get started today... the good old long weekend.

Hopefully my old man's tools are good enough. If not then I guess I've gotta scab the tools off a friend of mine.

One thing though your right about is those really tight spaces... I remember doing my dumpipe... gave up because one, I broke a spanner and two I couldn't reach the bolt. (Didn't have much tools that day) hehehe.

its an easy job

took me and my oldman under 30mins to remove the stock turbo (i've done it a few times now)

i found a few things made my job easy

removing the dump pipe from the front pipe (so its still connected to the turbo when i take it out) <-- of course you cant do this if you have a front and dump in 1

take your time, because i didnt reuse my lines the last time i took my trubo off. i just remove all the from the turbo and then remove the turbo and took off the lines after the turbo was out of the car!

its good fun :angry: ohh and remember to get new copper washers as i didnt and well i had abit of problem with oil leaking hehehe

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
