**OPERATION: RESTORE THE $H*T OUT OF MY BABY**

I really dont have any questions here particularly, however some general feedback is my goal.

If you can, keep the flaming to yourselves, I've tried to prevent further rusting as much as I possibly could, but ALOT was hidden when I purchased the car. Anyways thats neither here nor there as I am fully restoring the body next week.

Im just going to show you guys my bad spots, the work performed, and how much is it costing me. Positive comments and suggestions are welcome!

So here we go..



Rear passenger QP



Same QP



Trunk (obviously)



More trunk..



Driver side QP



Same QP



Bumper.. I would love to have an excuse for this one. However I do have advice.. if you dont need to drive on a donut. DONT!
and oh yes, there is still a bumper signal in there! lol



Windshield.





So work to be done ? Im having all my rust cut out, with new metal welded in of course. My new bumper will be installed also, along with the support being bent back up. My QP, trunk and bumper, and driver fender will be fully painted white diamond pearl. Long story short.. NO rust anymore.. the proper way.

See the sad thing is, if I only had $500 more I could get a full body paint job. But I can settle for this, givin my current situation (another story).

For the parts.. Im having a front bumper and headlight being shipped ($655 CAD) and the labour and paint will run me $1500.

Grant total: $2155 (haha I guess that is obvious also)

Im not too sure how many people out there have had rust repair (as there arent many folks on here from the north) but like I said, all comments are welcome!

EDIT: Im also getting my skirts painted!!! woot

Cheers.
