Preparation to Paint the Engine Compartment
There is a bulgarian phrase “парен каша духа”. This could be translated as “One who already burnt their mouth, blows (to get cooler) the mash”. So i already over-sprayed a lot and i don’t want this anymore. I packed the entire car, except the engine compartment. The places where there…
All the Cardboards Except the Roof are Glued
In the last days i glued the quarter panels to the body. I glued the cardboards with fiberglass and clean them with Dremel and pink stone as much as possible, so there’s a minimum inner tension after the installation. The next step is to clean with dremel, add epoxy if…
Nuts for the Back Suspension Arms. Duroplast is Glued to the Doors

Seam Sealer I seam sealed the floor after i primed it. Welding I had a little surprise – 2 little holes opened above the front window. The misery is that it is already painted inside and the welding will burn the paint. Floor Painted The floor was masked and painted…
The Floor is Primed. Air Cooling Fan to be Assembled
Floor Like i said before “i will start from the under-body and until i reach the point to paint the Gletcherblau i will learn to paint”. This is true, because here i didn’t have a single leak. The last thing i need to train is to not paint with “transparent…
The underbody is Painted. Prime the Suspension Parts
Materials I de-greased the under-body and sprayed the under-body with epoxy primer (catalyst, solvent). I am amazed of the quality. I couldn’t clean my spray gun after, so today i added OMNI MS 251 Multi-Purpose Solvent to my list of materials. It cleans very well. The Under-Body Next i sprayed…
Preparation to Spray the Underbody (Take 2)
Tomorrow i will spray the under-body with epoxy primer. I “packed” the garage partially. I will open the windows of the doors to get some air flow. This time i decided to make an improvised table and paint all the suspension parts there.
