Hi everyone. This is a current repair we are doing at vo-tech(yes im still in high school). Its my cousins '89 240.he picked the car up for 500 bucks. It was a southern car so it is pretty solid. No rust. The person he bought it off of side swiped a telephone pole so we are replacing the quarter and door.Oh yeah and the nice thing about vo-tech is you only gotta pay for the materials(and hope to god whoever is workin on your car knows what they are doing)This is what we started with. ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/041006_0904a.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/041006_0904a.jpg) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/041006_0904b.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/041006_0904b.jpg) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/041006_0904c.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/041006_0904c.jpg) starting to disassemble the car ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/041206_0928.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/041206_0928.jpg) ---

Are you the guys that take people’s cars and do paintjobs on them for free so you can get experience? ---

You guys provide the paint and we pay for it? How much does that usually cost? Drop me a PM if you’re looking for a donor car… 😃 ---

depending on what type of paint you use to get a whole car repainted it should cost a couple hundred bucks.Unfortunately, we have enough cars to last us the rest of this school year ---

today we put the car on a frame machine and pulled out some of the quarter, we then started to “snap” the spot welds around the wheel well instead of drilling them out. ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/042106_1015.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/042106_1015.jpg) ---

This is when we were ready to prime it and all of the body work was finished ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/052606_0912.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/052606_0912.jpg) Here its primed,blocked, and ready for some paint ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/053106_0848.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/053106_0848.jpg) There it is!! ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/053106_1413.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/053106_1413.jpg) ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/053106_1412.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/053106_1412.jpg) I’d say it looks decent for my first time painting something that big and swappin quarters.(thats not me in the car)It was single staged. ---
