Signs of Improvement

The passenger door when we discovered the hole (Sometime in Summer 2002)

The passenger door after white paint primer, more sanding, etc. All that bondo now is smoothing out the pitted metal. Also, as you can see, the outside trim was removed. (12/08/02)

Bondo work and sanding (1/18/03)

More bondo work and more sanding (1/29/03)

Left:: The car a few weeks after I first got it. I only bondod over rust spots.
Right:: New 94 back door primed just by paintbrush. Since this picture, its been primed by spray primer.

Left: The back passenger door converted to a '90 but without interior paneling (the box is there so no paint sprays from outside of the door inside).
Right:The completed door converted from a '94 to a '90 setup.

Left: The back driver's side door converted to a '90 setup without paneling.
Right: The back driver's side door, completed!
