April 27,2012 Picked up this bad boy for $2,200 88k original miles, completely stock everything runs great mechanically, but needs new quarter panels due to rust, lots of dents need to be filled and needs a new paint job. The hood and both fenders need to be replaced. The car is completely stock except for 2 Pioneer 12" sub woofers, a Spectre intake and new Pioneer speakers in all 4 doors. The car also had balljoints, lower control arms, tie rods and hub bearings recently replaced.

First day I bought it.

May 31, 2012Started taking everything apart to get the car ready for paint.



June 5, 2012 Replaced the damaged hood and fenders with new oem ones, also welded the new quarter panels. Also installed the short throw shifter.



June 15,2012 Started filling in the dents and putting body filler over the quarter panels to make them smooth in. After the body filler the car got a few coats of primer and was wet sanded.



June 17,2012 Painted my side skirts and replaced the factory door cloth with a recaro red one. Wired the fog lights and cut the holes in the bumper for the fog lights to be mounted. Also painted under the hood. Took out the interior so I could silicone the inside of the quarter panels to keep the water out.
