Hey Guys

I have a 1989 R32 GTST that the paint has started to show its age on and has started peeling paint off when i removed my old side skirts etc.

I have since decided with my dad to give the car a nice but basic respray in the standard nissan skyline colour kg1 (i think its called?) because it looks like crap at the moment.

My Questions

1. How far do i rub the car back? to undercoat or metal? hand sand or just use a orbital sander? or use a paint removal liquid?

2. Can anybody please post a step by step procedure on how to prep the body properly as its my first time?

3. Can anyone give me any tips about what stuff to use for sanding back etc (grit size) and bodyfiller brand etc?

(My dad is spraying the body as he's done this before)

Any help would be really appreciated at the moment! As its my first go at this and i want to be as helpful as possible to my dad?

Cheers BOOSTA (pete)

      Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!

      Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure

      A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins

      Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
