Fresh Paint after bein totalled

Finally got the car back from my buddys shop. Insurance said it was a total loss so I bought it back for 800 plus the deduct. of 250$ In the end I had $3,267.67 to work with.

Glad one of my good buddys is an awesome body man and painter.

'90 GXL
78k/mi
Stock ( next weekend delete the cat for a straight pipe, or just gut the cat, and a K&N drop in will be added also.)

Before:









(yes I know it's dirty)
Still a whole lot of little things to go, Need to get the swirl remover and buff again, re-align the doors and set the windows up again etc... but it's gettin there!

Rotarybeat- You think I should get the GXL stickers? I've been debating it. Also been debating the pinstriping it originally had from the dealer option...

Thanks a lot though guys. There's so much more that needs to be done but I rushed it so I could have a car again as I blew the rear end in my truck. With rushing it so I can have a driver again I'm having it while it's not finished so in some ways I feel dissapointed with the job. However, I can't complain at all for the price I paid... But, I still LOVE it! lol

Why'd you put those horrendous mud flaps back on? The car would look 11ty times better without them, trust me.

Looks awesome otherwise.

Cause I'm to cheap to buy Coil-overs and they make it look lower... Just for the hell of it really. Plus on the right rear they forgot to peel off the old double sided tape so I don't want to have to deal with touching all that crap up... that and honestly, I just wanted to keep it the way I got it. I haven't had it long so time will tell. I'm sure I'll rip em off sooner or later though...
