When I picked the car up in Pomona it was completely stock with the

exception of a rebuilt head. This being my first car I was kinda leery

at the age but mainly fueled by the thoughts of a turboed rwd

import I dismissed all that lol. Good thing I did to, since it's arrival

I've pretty much fell in love with the car. .they are awesome to say

the least. My brother and this forum have pretty much guided me through

everything. There's is still much more I plan on doing and things I dream of doing and with time I believe I'll accomplish them. Anyway. .

Enjoy,

she's beautiful=) and don't be ashamed of a dent, there's tons of people on here without frame rails, and that's a heck of a lot worse. You could pull the fender off and do some massaging=~)

Dent or no dent, be proud of the fact you are making it better and better, and not parting it out or junking it. Theres been to much of that goin on lately. Looks like you are certainly headed in the right direction, congrats on a beautifully clean and shiny car.

OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH so shiney.....very nice indeed...bring it to Vegas Nats 2011 in October....

 

That's the goal. I'm looking forward to it!

 

And it is pretty shiny isn't it? Lol. Can't wait until I get it repainted, same color of course. :)

Why repaint it? I think it looks great!

 

The roof is faded down to the metal, and the dents here and there are bugging me a bit. But other than that the car does look pretty dandy lol.

I'd not photoshop out the dent. Post it with the dent, or don't post it at all... ha.

 

Looks good on the passenger side though.

Well I just might have to post it I guess this is a "showroom" right. I'll look back and see if I kept the shots of the drivers side.

Thanks Bc. You're right. Sorry about the late reply I completely missed your post.

is the paint cracked and flaking off where the dent is? Because you could just get the roof painted to match and the fender if needed and it should blend pretty well if you got a good painter to do it=)

Of course I'm working on it. I'm just more concerned with it running at the moment, once I get the majors issues worked out drivability-wise, I will start working on the body, and have it repainted with a Keystone matched Atlantic Blue. :lol:

Lol, probably not THAT soon man, at the earliest this time next year. Finances are a *****. But maybe one day. If anything, I paid $800 for a ruuning SQ.

Thanks. I have all the mods listed on the first page, the only thing that isn't up there is the Hyundai alternator I just barely bought today haven't even installed it or anything yet. But thanks for looking. :rolleyes:
