This picture of the interior shows how cheap my old paint job was.

Fender damage, going to have the body shop check if the chassis is even straight.

Soda Blaster guy is going to pick up the car Monday.

Peace
Man that fender color looks bad ***. I bet Apex is jealous....
Can't wait to see it when it's done

Dude, the first word out of his mouth after seeing that fender..."Gay!"

Well got more of the car apart, found 7 dolla in change, mostly pennies. Half of them embedded in the sound deadening or cough drop syrup. Found a few grapes and the carpet was wet with what must be 9 year old water. ewww

Dad is formally forbidden to have cough drops or grapes in the car as of now. Will get new carpet from the GB going on, will get black.

Okay pics:

Even without the motor the 7's got POWA!

What the back of the dash looks like and the HVAC unit, which is pretty simple.

Long *** engine harness that weighs 30 lbs.

And last, the yummy stuff found under the carpet.

Update, got the car back from the soda blaster. He did a pretty good job, missed a few things but all in all a good job.

Prep and bondo now

Speaking of bondo, I have some unexpected bondo on the driver side rear corner panel. I knew about the bondo on the passenger door. Remove and clean up for new stuff. Hoping the DR rear panel isn't fawked up too bad. Will find out tomorrow

Peace

Hey Apex just told me he wants to know where you got that cool green fender.After what Mike did to his car he's thinking a bright green will be more obvious to see when someone is backing up a Suburban.I think he is looking for a custom pink interior also to match his panties also

East Coast Baby, ebay special. When I saw that fender, I was like..."Nooooo, Mike what did you do? You idiot, god!!"

You guys suck, have fun, and what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Space? Wife or not, when are you going to come out of the closet? Don't turn my agonizing smashed fender/bumper 7 concern into a chance for some gay rant that you put off on someone else because you are too chicken **** to out yourself. ***!! If you drink too much in Vegas and touch me in ANY way, I'll bury you in the desert!

I thinking either Gunmetal or Titanium Metallic Silver with a heavy metal flake content and blue pearl clear coat. I leaning more toward's Titanium grey from the RX-8/Mazda 6 and add more metal flake and just regular clear.

NOOOO, at the rate I'm going it's going to take forever it feels like. I need to get the ball rolling or have the car rolled over to the paint shop across the street to get it done in a reasonable time. Expensive though, Fawk!

We have to get Apex's car running properly first, still has a boost issue and a miner scratch on the driver side fender to fix.

Well found more bondo on the driver & passenger side under paneling. Did some more paint removal, two more days of this and a frame straightening and it will be ready for new bondo and primer/sealer.

I found out my car has a cocaine problem! see's be off of it by the time I'm done, I hope.

Those must be Mazdacomp prices...the engine parts, at any rate, are at dealer cost. You would be paying 40% more at the dealer.
