So, after a couple weeks of thinking about what I was going to do with the car, I decided I was going to fix it. I ripped all the crap off and discovered that asshole rust. What a towel rust is. Like, c'mon.

I did a much better job than the above two pics, but I didn't take pics every lil step ah the way. After grinding down rust to the metal, it becomes time for paint:

So I was like awesome, because she started first try, so naturally I ripped around the block like the car is pictured above. It was pretty sweet with the 150lb weight reduction. My car definately turned some heads that day.



I'm still waiting for my rad support/cross piece to dry from paint. Then from there it's just buttoning everything back together.
