so when grabbing my hood today I was inspired to put my spolier back on, nick gave me the drivers side and the hatch but I need the last piece lol and possibly the hatch piece as well, the bolt on the right side busted out and I dont totally trust it

Anyone got the pieces?[/list]

Without preferably, IIRC third brake light is older style and my hatch currently has the glass mounted light the older ones are larger than.the newer ones

Wouldn't say larger, but wider. I perfer the spoiler light vs the fat hatch light.

Me too but my original hatch got shattered so I had to get a 90s style hatch unless someone has an 89 hatch with a working light lol

I'd be willing to trade you
I just bought the hatch spoiler from Bruce, and I won't be needing mine anymore.
But I could use some help with the bondo Very Happy

Or if you've got a tac-welder and some experience that would be the most preferred Laughing

the job I do now can be some-what temporary but would need to last for a while.

The 3 pc? If youve got all 3 id be willing to help lol im assuming you mean the holes lol theyre a PITA but im totally willing to help lol

I havent got a welder or I would have gone that route on mine, had a high rise I was gonna install but body shop wanted 300 to do just the spoiler and I kinda miss the lip lol

You don't need a welder, when I deleted my antenna I used sealer to prevent rust on the hole, then fiberglassed from the bottom of the fender hole, then sanded the fiberglass smooth then used body filler over the top and smoothed that into the lines of the fender.

Can't even tell my fender ever had an antenna mount. This is the route we're probably gonna go on doing a spoiler delete on a friend's car before paint as well.

I've also done the welding a patch under the hole and using body filler on top way, I personally would do fiberglass every time over welding.

HOLY BONDO BATMAN!

I normally try to bang out the dents as much as possible and put a layer of duraglass over it then shave it down, i normally have a small layer of glass over it as little as possible except for filling holes with lol im still toying around with mixture up here though, it used to be alot easier in az with 0 humidity so i could mix alot at once but now i just do little bits and mix as i go

id have no problem helpin you out, itd be awesome to come back to oak harbor i used to live in little valley up on SR20 about a mile before you get to the drive in

Yeah, it needed it... As you can see the body line took a beating while it was parked. That was stage one of body filler applied by a 17 year old me. Razz

I did smooth all the dents as close as I could get them before I applied any bondo, there's no filler that's more than just barely a thin layer to smooth the surface in (like you're supposed to do). That pic was before it was sanded. Better to have too much than too little.

Duraglass is for deeper dents that you can't just smooth with bondo, it still is supposed to have a normal filler over the top of it as well. Bondo can crack if it's too thick, Duraglass generally won't crack as easily but it is difficult to sand and blend well. Hence why you Duraglass then smooth with Bondo on top. None of my dents were deep enough to require anything more than a little bangin' and some Bondo.

It was completely straight after I got done with it, but the rednecks who owned it before me ran the lawnmower into it a few times. I suppose that's what you get when you buy a cheap roller with zero rust and 60k miles that sat in someone's front yard for years and years. Laughing

If you filling holes, what I did to my antenna and my rear wiper, is I took a piece of aluminum flashing and jb welded it underneath, then duraglass( I prefer it over bondo) I usually try to sand it smooth enough for either then glazing putty or some lightwiegth bondo. But the end result with my black paint is you can't see it. Only things afteer all my body work you can see are door dings, which ticks me off cause I coulnt see them with primer and could only feel half of them.
