body work and full paint job! :)
Last Sept I put my car in the shop, I told him to take his sweet time...well...in May I finally got it out but I haven't posted pics until now...
Here's the thread where I posted pix of the before...(website with pix is down...it will be backup soon)

And here are pix with the new paint and body work...

Do mind sharing the price? I have another '84 I'm working on and I want it to look showroom condition. NJ isn't to far to pull it for those results.

Here is a list of the work done...
front bumper painted and replaced (supplied by a forum member
)
front driver side fender painted and replaced (supplied by a forum member )
MINOR rust removal under doors and where old paint was cracking (he just had to steel wool it off)
sanded all old paint off down to old primer
filled in all minor dings and dents
resealed front windshield (it had a leak when it rained)
painted car with factory color
clear coated entire car
painted all trim, wiper arms and mirrors in high gloss black
all this plus whatever else they do...door handles, clip replacements when they broke...etc...
all that for $2200 ... i think it was a great price for the workmanship...he did take his sweet time though...from sept 2005 to may 2006! but i figured, i only drive it in the spring and summer anyways so it didn't matter...
i still have a long ways to go with some of the internals but at least i have the exterior done which was the biggest expense so far...
