                    • happy to see the updates, looks like another beautiful day in the land of Volkswagon.
                      I could not help but wonder how much primer and filler you have used on this bus thus far...

                      Comment


                      • Thats a really good question, For the primer, Im estimating like 8 cans so far, And i still have to do te top which is like 2-3. And for filler, not really 2 much like maybe a full can total. Its just on some i left it open and it hardens so i ruined like half haha. But the reason im using so much primer is because Its huge and stuff and once i primer it i find little imperfections so i sand it down and fix all the imperfections possible. It pisses you off at the time but i think it will pay at the end when its painted.

                            • are you welding the holes shut or just putting bondo over it? Anything over 5mm in circumference has a good change of cracking over time. Looking good though nice to see your doing it yourself. feel your pain with the body work haha.

                              • Well on the really small stuff im just putting bondo, but in the big stuff i get some chicken wire like stuff and put bondo on that and sand it down. Thanks man, yeah the bodywork is a drag but i rather me to do it and learn than some other guy do it and i spend thousands haha.
