100% stock so far (with the exception of a kenwood head unit) that's all about to change come spring time
these next 3 pics are a better view of the rot that I got goin on ( not too bad for bein 14 yrs. old) but i'm not playing the bondo game either after christmas is over plannin to order 2 new fenders and new rocker panels and fix it right. Of course when the ugly chrome and body trim comes off the body panels who knows how much rust i'll find oh well one thing at a time.
and some of the body work in progress pics

passenger fender (replaced instead of fixing the cancer and primered ready to go back on):
Finally found enough time to finish the reassembly!
Well it's been awhile soooooo here's what she looks like atm
Front doors are in color too (just 1 coat on everything so far) but i'm waiting for the polyurethane hinge bushings to arrive before i remount em (which also means the remaining coats of paint have to wait as well since I want to do it all as one unit for those)
more to come as soon as time and finances allow to continue the rust repair/replacement
Finally got her out of the garage and rolling around town again, new bumpers not ready yet but I couldn't wait any longer so ignore the crappy bumper gaps lol.
and a close up of the slightly modified center caps, yes those are the same stock rims
All together, added roof lights,energy suspension polyurethane body bushings, polyurethane door bushings, new head unit, mb quart component speakers in the doors, amp, a couple subs, floor shifter (b&m hammer shifter) since the stock one was too much headache to modify and get working right (trust me I tried several times) 3 in. body lift, add a leaf in the rear to fix the sagging back end, new front doors, rockers, fenders, tailgate and obviously new paint job. This was my first time ever doing any body work or using a spray gun all in all I think she turned out pretty nice.
