Some sanding and priming

As I have learned, doing something is better than doing nothing, so I decided to sand and prime the roof since it is one piece that will need no body work.  I bought a new air buffer with a sanding attachment and used 40 grit to get to the metal than went over it with 80, 120, and 220 using my (also new) DA (?) sander before cleaning and spraying on the primer.

Checking the rust

Well, all the rusty areas seem to be fixable without replacing the quarter panel and I'm glad about that.  This stuff is NOT easy.  I don't know what I would do if these fantastic people were not letting me use this garage.  No, that's not exactly true, I do know what I would do - I would have junked the car because that is what I was going to do anyway.

Unexpected Rust

I removed my rear windows and trim today and found some surprise rust.  It's seems odd how the passenger side is rusted badly and the drivers side is not rusted at all. I guess it must have been the way I had the car parked when it sat outside for so long.
