deer damage update

hey guys its been a while since i have last posted..... but so far so good.... i have finished straightening the radiater support out...i have put it a new radiater.

i pulled of the drivers side fender to replace it and was very very amazed to find the inner body to be perfectaly clean with out any rust what so ever on it... so that made me pretty happy...
ill have pics for you guys soon of my progress.

it going to take a bit longer because while i am at it i am also fixing many other small things with the car like pasenger side tail light, new door locks, new door pins, new head liner, t top seals, full exaust from the engine back, in a couple days i will have a nose, drivers side fender, headlight bar and dual electric fan set up in the mail for my car, after that i need to find a set of 92 ground affects and rear bumper, hi rize spoiler and a 4 inch cowl induction hood will also be going on....i will also be doing alot of suspension work this winter "new everything" drop zone springs, LCAs, sub frame connecters, etc

again i will have pics for you guys soon in a couple days

here is an old pic of my car to remind you of the car this is all happening tooo:lala:

Thats great! Just end the stripes on the hood where they are supposed to stop. They arent supposed to go on the bumper covers. When people do the whole car like that it makes me think they just bought some cheap vinyl on a roll and SLAPPED IT ON.

lol another update i just scored a deal for a complete used set of 92 z28 style ground affects and a hi rize spoiler for 100$ plus shipping..... i will be buying it all after christmas shopping is done for the little one and my gf..... lol wish me luck ont he car guys.....in my head i can see what its going to look like and im loving every minuite of it.... right now i just have to keep with it working my *** of to afford the parts and the little one and the gf all at the same time....


in the past two weeks i have straigtend out the front end a bit more.... cleaned the interior very welll.... bought and installed new door pins also i will be undercoating the whole bottom of the car soon too...... and right now i am cleaning up soem wireing and the engine bay while i am saving up money for all the parts that i have found....

the guy i am dealing with is a very nice guy.... its great to find some one that is this patiant with me on buying the parts due to me only haveing a part time job and being a student and all and having a kid to care for and a gf doesnt realy help much in the car resto department..... but slowely but surely it will get done... dont care what it takes but it will lol its my goal in life right now...:lala: how pitiful is that i literaly wont function right till this car is done lol it meens everything to me......

i am lucky my buddys dad has a huge garage and i leave my car tarped up right out side the bay door and i can come down and work on it when ever i want to just as long as i help out down there for a bit when i am there also....

any way guys just wanted to let yah know i was still around lol and working on the old girl and sooner or later she will be done...

im hoping by summer spring time the work will all be done and she will be atleast in primer buy then....

Those stripes are way too wide. It looks ridiculous. I can't wait to see you bring life back to that beast though!
