1988 AE Restoration

I have had this car since 1995 and over the past 2 years finally got the time to begin restore it. I just got it back from paint and have been starting to put it back together. I will be posting more before and after photos soon.

Nice job, now the work begins.
Not to be picky, but did you have the side body moldings painted at the same time?

Painted mine about 20 years ago.... definitely time to do it again.

Don't think it's in the cards for the next year or two though.

Did you remove the factory ae bronze window tint? If so was it hard? Doesn't look like there's any tint from the pics.

Was it driveable much of the time since 1995?
