BTD's Car part I

here are a few pics of my car taken about 2 weeks ago before it went into the shop. since I can't post more than 3 pics per post I am going to spread out my posts over a few days to give everyone a chance to see my car go through a little transformation.
I thought this was my original paint. because It was a low mile car when I bought it 3 years ago. but my painter told me that the car has been repainted over 5 years ago. As you can see the clear on the hood is totally gone it is also gone on the roof. The hood has a dent buy one of the louvers that with a quote would have cost me about $400 to fix...I smell new hood coming... the clears is also gone behind the t-tops and on the rear deck. The body is mostly straight and no major dings or dents at all. There is rust forming by the louvers on the hood. and the molding on the oustide of the t-tops look like crap.

questions...comments?
