Here is the right front fender (red) that I plan to paint white to match the car -
The hood is also from the same donor car and will also be painted.
I plan to use some cans of spray paint available at the local auto parts store.
I just spray the parts outside - with good ventilation and I don't breathe the fumes.
I did work on the car today and cut the old upper radiator brace off and bolted on the one from the junkyard.
I also installed the A/C condenser and fan, radiator and fan, and a few more front end parts - such as bumper reinforcements.
Tomorrow I will paint the fender and install it.
If I have time, I will also do the hood and then put the bumper on.
After that will be the headlights and corner lights and grille (also needs painting).
I will need to fill the coolant, ATF and also check the oil.
I need to get a battery before the car can be started up.
I got an inside rear view mirror from the junkyard and was going to install it, in place of the broken one.
I tried swapping just the mirror portion and got it out ok, but putting it into the other holder it cracked.
I guess next time at the junkyard I will get another. I have done just a glass (mirror portion) swap before.
More to follow.
