here's where all the drama comes , when we were getting the car ready for power windows I noticed that the car had been hit before from the driver side , and was repaired shitty so i decided to go all the way and do it the right way

next I went out and got a driver side pole and started to prepare the car for re-repair took the dash out , started to remove the paint all the way to metal since I saw a thread saying that the paint from that color DAP comes off and starts chipping so i decided to repaint everything
