RE: New Project (IM BACK)
thanks guys, i was expecting people to be calling it a peice, haha. tore it down further today, the body looked like hell the it had been sitting so long that when you wiped your hand on it a layer of paint came off, and there was black **** all over hte body, but i washed it, and it looks much better today, took off the wing, removed the hatch, removed the hood, pulled the seats, removed the window louver things cause they need new paint, and some other stuff, picked up some body filler for a few spots tonight aswell as some interior paint ima test out on my dash peices tomorrow, and heres a few more pics i took today....
not sure how long till this project will be going down the street in primer, but keep in mind im only 17 and currently without a job, looking for another since i now got a daily driver.
my cowl was trashed so i chunked it, and i also pulled about 4lbs of wet soggy pinestraw and other crap out of there
louvers (not sure if tahts what there called?), hatch, wing, and hood behind them, not sure if im keeping the hood
i stole the battery out of my grand marquis threw it in here, and turned the key and was friggin amazed that it started making that annoying dinging noise, and the power windows, lights and everything worked. i lovethe grant steering wheel
