Got this car with only 80k orig miles on it and started tearing it apart. Rear handles shaved, trunk lock shaved, lowered, rear bumper cut and welded back together and tucked into the body, front bumper tucked into the body also. The entire thing will be sprayed black as soon as i get my door popper kit so i can shave the front handles and key locks off. Also still have shave the antenna off too. Only thing that wont be black will be the grill, its going to be polished aluminum. Let me know what you think about whats been done so far, its a work in progress....need that money first! Gettin rims after all the body is done. Then comes the air bags!

Side shot showing rear door handles shaved, trim off, lowering.

still tryn to get time to fabricate the fillers that go between the bumper and the rear panel out of sheet metal. I can buy the rubber ones but they look like shit. This way it will be seamless and one whole panel.

Took a few inches out of the bumper with a grinding wheel then welded it back together and cleaned up the outside nice, then tucked it into the car. Its almost a roll pan now. All thats left is to get epoxy primer so i can scuff the bumpers and paint them black when i paint the body black.

Still have to make my grill too. Dont know if im doin vertical grill or horizontal. Using polished aluminum rods to make it with.
