the only parts that needs for body work is that rear quarter panel. the rest of it is done, but does need a front fender.
then some idiots tried to relocate the license plate to the right part of the rear bumper which i am changing that and moving the exhaust that they welded on back to the right side. so ill be getting a new rear bumper.
paint is gonna be a imperial blue metallic

well for a brand new rear quarter its 400 but im looking at junk yards to try and find a used one. but see the big part is it has to be welded across the top of the panel by the bottom of the window so that will be a big job so idk. i hope not to much but im about to dump about 5500 into this car. so it will be done right. im not just gonna put crappy stuff on here if im putting that much money into it. ya know what i mean.....

Where are you located? If you're near the Illinois-Iowa border, I have a front bumper and mirrors and stuff.

ground control coilovers with custom rate springs and koni sport shocks is a cheaper alternative with quality results.
