You can check out the entire project under project management, but I wanted to share my joy here from the progress on it. It looks awesome (in my opinion).
Just two months ago I bought this thing and questioned how good it would eventually look because the previous owner had done such poor body work. After a ton of sanding and blood, sweat and tears. . . it's really coming together and is as straight as an arrow now!
Here's two pics I just took a few hours ago. The engine is now bolted in and I'll be helping throughout the weekend getting all the electronics and everything hooked back up and HOPEFULLY by Sunday evening I'll be driving her.
You'll notice I have Nova Rally wheels on it, which came on the car painted maroon. I had them removed and painted black with clear coat. . I think it really sets it off!
Comments appreciated. This has really become a money pit for me, but has been an enjoyable one.
Before and now pics :

(The white stuff seen on the engine bay is just rubbing compound...hehe) Still needs window trim and some other trim put back on as well, obviously.
