Dino 246 getting ready for paint. omgjon, Jon Gunderson. Dino Restoration

There was a ton of metal work to do on this car, with new sills, front damage etc and changing it back to it’s original configuration as a Euro. That required removing extra bumper posts, filling in USA light holes etc. With the metal work behind us the primer coats have been moving along. Shawn will get a spray out next week and color could start as soon as 2 weeks!

More parts and critter turds!! You can see where the extra bumper posts were welded in and US light added. I believe it was imported in 74 and must of been required for import.

We started taking some parts off to see what we have to work with. Typical rust in the sills and behind rear tires. We’ll see what else is lurking after it is media blasted. I especially like the white sidewalls. I hope shawn doesn’t want me to turn them around so all can see!
Another critter of some sort was living in the drivers sill. Interior appears to be original, including carpet. The clear coat came off with the power washer. Looking like a fun project.Another Dino being saved from the jaws of hell.
