Its pretty good, passenger side door had a macco job on it so that looks awful now. Hatch has rust and broken louvers, and my sunroof is startin to rust.
Not too bad for $2000, my friends love it.

Yea, that HU is ugly as hell, can't wait to rid of that thing, I love the 80's style dash/console tho . Looks great at night.
Ignore the water marks, thats my passenger door, looks gay as hell. I dont know what to do . No clearcoat, black paint is turning like pink.

New headunit, cuz I have to listen to music. :P Then fix that door, I dont know how the hell I will. Then prolly a short shifter and new bushings. After that I dunno, its already got full exhaust. I dont wanna put too much money in an N/A.

looks pretty good...u may have over paid by a couple hundred bux bc of some of the exterior blemishes but fixing them wouldn't be too much $$ Re-spraying and clearing the passenger door might run u up to $200 and i thought there was a dent in the drivers door but otherwise it all looks pretty straight and glossy from the pics I opened. I'd take off the tail lights and mask the faded sections, scuff em down and respray the black section in a semi-gloss black spray paint. A free flow exhaust is nice...I say tune it up, toss in a K&N filter and some KYB AGX's and Eibachs and you'll have a nice SWEET handling simple 7 all for maybe another $1000 bux (including fixing some of the paint).

spraying/clear coat from a reg. body shop shouldnt run you that much at all...if u want it to match PERFECTLY w/ the rest of the car they will tell you to blend into the fender and quarter panel but I would just have them spray the door...if u look closely after u might notice a little difference in color/depth but it will be a HELL of a lot better than what its like now and wont cost u much. remember, this is spray/clear and NO body work. wha rubber on the door, the trim?? if it's coming off just carefully remove the whole piece and get some kinda of exterior adhesive/sealant from home depot (black stuff) and secure the piece back on. The tail lights & spray paint would also be a nice improvement...they come off easy w/ a ratchet and a deep 10mm - the whole job should take you 2 hours max and u'll love how it comes out after!! g-luck and enjoy!!
