Rust Damage If the car does have rust damage you have to sand offthe rust. If the car has hole because ofrust you need to cut the area around thehole and weld a piece of metal in its place.

Sanding The main goal of sanding is to get all the paint and primer

off the surfaces of the car. Also to remove rust.

Modified Bodies “However, while

some body kits manage to do justice to both their owners and their cars, the majority simply do not.”

Final Product The final product of

all the hard work would be an amazing car that could be driven around proudly.
