Looks really good. I'm not keeping my beige paint,I'm thinking of two toning my se.

 

Thanks. I didn't like the beige at first but it did grow on me.

I will have some really good progress later this week.

 

Side molding on:





The wheel well molding went on after I took these pics. The alignment is scheduled for this morning.

 

^ Beautiful car !! All that hard work is paying off!!

I love the original color combo.

Thanks.

Wheel well molding is on and door edge guard. I also waxed the car with an overspray remover. Alignment is also done.







What is left to do:
-final alignment of front panels and installation of under tray
-assemble and paint rear louvers
-wheel polish
-windshield molding install
-pinstriping
-finish install of emblems, stickers, etc (I will be doing)
-paint metal sunroof
-detail engine compartment and interior

Once the car is done with paint:
-new tires
-replace carpet (have in garage)
-driver's seat repair (sometime this year)

I'm hoping to get most of this done today.

Thanks everyone.

Total in paint and body work was about $3,800. material alone was about $1,800 or so.
I have about $850 in seals and emblems. $200 in junk yard parts.

So far I have an $8,500 free car. I have close to another $1000 to completely finish the car up.
-seat repair
-clear bra
-alarm
-engine bay parts plating

 

awesome Chris, just simply awesome!!! how's the interior looking??

 

Thanks, I'll get some good pics of the entire car this weekend or next week. It has been raining almost every afternoon so I haven't even had a chance to give the car a good cleaning inside and out.

The interior needs the front carpet swapped (have sitting in the garage) and the driver's seat repaired. Everything else in the interior is looking great.

 

glad to hear that you are going all the way with the car!! i've been following the thread for quite some time and i am blown away by the car!

 

After having close to a month of a sick family, I've finally had time to make some progress.

-window trim install DONE
-GSL-SE emblem install DONE
-wiper cowl is wetsanded and will be buffed DONE
-polish the wheels STILL NEEDS TO GET DONE
-wax STILL NEEDS TO GET DONE
-interior and engine cleaning DONE
-under hood stickers install STILL NEEDS TO GET DONE

 

Sorry I haven't been around much lately, family time.

Pics of a car show from last month:

 

Car looks so great! Fresh paint is the best!

 

That looks amazing. I was skeptical about the cream colour at the beginning of the thread, but damn. It really turned out.

 

Thanks.

 

car looks great!

 

How did you get the Engine Bay so clean?

 

Well the car has hail damage after yesterday's storm. I hear that we may get another.

 

Holy Crap! It looks like December in those pictures.

 

We got over an inch of hail. My hood, cowls, and roof are covered in little dents. The front emblem is nowhere to be found and there is a chip and crack in the bumper. I removed most of the little twigs and branches off the car before I thought to take a pic.

Some areas in Denver got a few inches of hail.

 

That freakin' blows man... I hate that that happened. Hope that you're able to get it back right without breaking the bank. It's such a beautiful car.

 

I was there for that storm. I had just landed in Denver when it began and drove down to Garden of the Gods for the night. It was the worst blizzard I've seen in years. I don't know how you Colorado people deal with snow in May.

 

That's awful! Were you insured for hail damage? How does one even go about fixing that sort of thing? Dry ice to pop the dimples out?

How big are the hailstones?
