been so busy with school. Just sanding for an hour once in while to trying to keep moving forward.

Both of my rear fenders have an awkward tilt, but since they both have it I'm going to keep it. its growing on me.

finally got her in the garage to keep the rust down. just removing the layers of crap paint

fronts are 80%

Lets see if anyone can guess what my plans are with this

original color? looks like a rainbow.....

I'm shooting to order custom spacers front and back from adaptec this week once I figure out to the MM what clearance I can pull off.

Anyways I had a hell of a time with the wiring for the shaved handle kit. For the most part it is in working order. Just running the driver door till I have all the wiring proper and sealed.

Thanks^

been awhile since I updated this. So....:

When I started this project I knew rust was going to be a problem... but damn. I can't seem to get it under control. It just keeps popin' up all over. Not to mention the shitty job they did of fixing the cars issues. Putting bondo over rust in place of what should be metal is typical for the car. I love using a lot of bondo to sand off and get a thin layer that is smooth at the end of the job, but they just slapped it on and kept it thick and shitty. rant/







A little bondo removed and it looks like they had replaced the edge in the past... so I cleaned it and added some weld to the top and bottom.

Received some spacers from ireland for my coilovers to fix my clunk noise! Stocked on this.
