A little history on my car. I bought it from the original owner (Tulare, CA) in 1999 with 8k miles. It still smelled new. I enjoyed the heck out of it, and it now has 62kish miles on it. Life got in the way (as it does) and the car had to spend time outside in AZ and CA, and the paint went down the tubes. All of the rubber seals equally failed, and its been mostly parked for the last several years waiting for my attention. The interior is nearly perfect, though. This past summer I finally was able to get things started, and completely rebuilt the brakes. Next thing I knew...

Well, the paint has begun...Well the prep has been really going on and off for the last 6 months. The car is disassembled, the body has been sanded and prepped. Fenders, hood, and chassis have been primed, blocked, primed, blocked, sealed, based and cleared. Next in the "booth" will be the doors, hatch and bumpers (probably in two weeks). Somewhere along the line there will be cutting and buffing to make it look like I knew what I was doing. Then all of the little parts will be painted and installed, along with new weatherstripping, seals, etc. I'm sure I'm still 6 months from calling it complete, but we'll see how it goes.
