3000 GT restoration


Well finally got started on the Mitsubishi and have it running smooth now. I started a little auto body work and wet sanding it now in prepperation for the paint job. Body is rust free and in great shape overall for as old as this classic is. Was a little banged up on the back driver side bumper but not a very hard hit.You are welcome to follow along on the painting of the 3000 GT as I will document with a lot of pictures and tips just as I did on the engine rebuild. Well the way i learned about worken on these sports cars years ago was just to start reading and you will figure it out. Here is a couple of books to start with helping you learn how to paint your car (Motorbooks Workshop)

Just start reading and talk it over with your auto paint store clerk. He should be able to give you a few tips also. I hope some of this helps you move your project along and saves you some time. Now go out to the garage and get on it. Time to swell up thoes fingers and do a little knuckle busten. Shade tree Daddy........
