Part: Body

Video tutorial

This video tutorial shows how to perform a complete restoration by entirely removing rust and reconstructing the parts that are now rotten and irrecoverable. Stripped of all interiors and the engine, sand down the entire affected surface, remove the points to be replaced, apply primer, and proceed to filler and paint.
