So I was originally going to sand the paint down and respray. Then I realized that this is a red car that used to be green, that used to be white. The worst part is that there was about 20 pounds of bondo on the body. There was no atempt to fix any imperfections. They were all just covered up. I just stripped it down to bare metal and started over fresh. Some of the panels i sprayed in primer so they won't rust.

I had to undo all the work I did to the interior to strip the car down but I think the end result will be worth it.
