Body work under way!

I started my body work about 2 days ago. I have removed almost everything needed before paint, I am in the process of sanding the car down (180 grit) and taping off everything that needs it. I also did the door jams, the hatch area and under the hood my self, because the paint shop charges way to much to do that extra. So, I went with canary yellow, looks good so far, I will keep you all updated!

PS Body work is a mother..........

I hate doing body work cause if I don't get it right, it bugs the crap out of me untill I fix it hehehe. So that's what I'm doing after the new motor goes in Good luck on the project!

Well, so far, a bi!@h to say the least. I just sold my stock wing for $120 local, now to order my new wing and get my baby in the paint shop. I will feel good, however, knowing that I did the bodywork good, not half a$$. I am painting the light area the same color as the car (like the RS option) and the grill is totaly sanded down (no bowtie anymore, now says NOS). Total custom job, I will post good pics when she is done (early November).
