You're right about that. It's also handy to have the pictures and info on the internet. You don't have to be at home on your own computer to look at them. You can use any computer with the internet!

Today I got another package.
This time I got my new wheel arches. They are for a Opel (Vaxhall) Calibra.
I bought them through ebay and by doing so I saved about half of what they would have
cost me here in Sweden. And that's including shipping!

Now it's time for some bodywork.
First I had to remove the old putty, which was a lot :S
Then I marked out where the big damages was.
I wanted to fix the dent (caused by my welding) in front of the wheel arch first.
So I welded an attachment for the slidehammer on and started working the dent out.

I gave up on my previous dent fixing idea.
The metal is getting too weak so I decided to weld in some new metal instead
Pictures:
First a small hole to see what's behind
Then a big hole to remove the damaged metal
And finally some new metal

I welded some more on the new metal today.
I'm doing one spot weld at a time and cool it with compressed air to avoid distortion.

Today I painted my engine block with a coat of paint to keep the rust away.
I will finish painting it when the freeze plugs are in.
I got help from a friend so we rolled the supra away to the garage washing spot
where I could remove the putty from the right side and avoid filling the garage
with dust...again.
Then we got my supra up on jack stands again, this time with the ass out so that
I can work on both sides without moving the car.
The pictures are taken with my friends iPhone so I'm sorry for the quality.

Painted one coat to keep the rust away
Putty removed on the right side aswell
Now I can work on both sides
Just for fun. In swedish this is blocket.se
I'm sorry, but I had to
