Rear bumper mounting holes/plate was rusted out. Cut out the body panel with the high speed cut off, fabed up a new piece and welded it in, and there i am grinding down the excess weld.

Rear bumper it self was rusted out on the bottom side. Took the high speed cutter to this as well, cut out the rusted junk. Got some new metal, put it in the break and matched it to the old piece i cut out, matched up like a dream and here i am welding it up

My car originally had the 85 MPH cluster, i bought this cluster from a fellow TGO'r here. This is what it looked like before i gave it some TLC! Dont mind the faded black backseat... That will all be gone soon enough!

Here it is all cleaned up. Took some 2000 grit to the lenses and wet sanded that, put some rubbing compound on it, then buffed it till a mirror finish. Also cleaned the gauges them self with some windex. Turned out half ways decent!

This is one of my most recent photos. Had to load the car up and get it out of the shop for a party. Fender is missing due to mine being repaired. The person who had it before me, pulled the engine and droped it on the fender.. :o

Go go sunroof! Also notice the windshield is missing?? Having the car on jack-stands for a few months on end does not help windshields at all...
