Project Reliant
Breathing new life into an old car
Because of the rainy weather and other commitments, it’s been difficult to get much time to work on the car. I did manage to continue with the sanding and painting though.
I really want this car to be black. Blacker than black. This means that all of the trim, panels, and accents are going to be flat black.
It’s been a while since the last update, mostly because I was dealing with my daily driver Mazda3 getting fixed as well as being on vacation.
So it’s been pretty much raining every day, and I can’t get anything done to the car because I don’t have a garage. When we did have a break in the rain, I was able to do some small things to at least push the project forward.
I got a chance to do some sanding today, and then some more sanding!
I wasn’t satisfied with the dent repair as it was, so I bit the bullet and decided to drill some holes to see if I could do a better job. And it worked!
This week I bought a small detail sander at Canadian Tire and put it to good use. I needed to scuff up the paint and get some smoothness in the areas where I attacked the Reliant with the angle grinder and “Orange Beast” power sander.
