Well guys, I did get it finished up yesterday, but had a busy day moving out of college to get the picture up. Its hasn't been washed yet, but you get the idea.

I like how the hood turned out. Is that still just the primer coat?

No, its not the primer coat. Its a single stage flat white paint. Thats how she is And its got intrax lowering springs on it now, and it would rub on the fenders on bad bumps, I would like to get tein ss coilovers when the time comes. It rides almost like stock right now. And the pink wheels are actually to support my grandma and breast cancer awareness, Ive been trying to find a big ribbon sticker to put on the back window, but I may just get two small ones and put them on the top corners of the windshield after it gets tinted. But, the wheels will be plastidip also, so if I just cant take it anymore, they will be getting powdercoated black.

Thanks for all the comments guys. It has come a long ways, but is not near being close to where I want it.

Need to whore it out some more!

Hood looks like it has a tumor but props on the work. looks like it came out nicely. For now just get some soap and water and clean the wheels and tires up a hair. That will make for much better pictures for the time being.

Looks like all your seams line up pretty much perfect too. Nice job!

Thanks guys! and the body lines aren't really that great. It was hit in the ass, so the trunk needs tweaked and it also appears to be hit in the front driver side corner as well. The upper rail has been smashed back and beatin back somewhat, the hood and that fender arent the greatest, and the doors still need some adjusting yet. But, It should turn out alright for the average person to look at. It will just never look perfect in my eyes, I know where every little flaw is.

BuiltNBoosted - Thanks man, I get closer and closer with progress.

Brad - I agree, but I'm going to wait till its nice out and use both cars, plus it's not finished yet

I have made some progress and got the trunk carpet installed from a junker at the yard. It really cleaned stuff up a lot and just looks much better. I also got the bottom of the rear seat installed, but didn't bother with pictures of the interior yet. I took some pics of the trunk and dont mind the stains, they need power washed when it gets above freezing atleast haha.


Battery install..



Also another note, if you ever take off the torsion bars that raise the trunk up, make sure you take note of how they go. Its simple stupid, but it was kicking my ass for awhile.
