rob: yea? thats great i still have to find out all the problems and get it to work the way i want it to but I'll definitely bring it up to you then.
few key things I noticed tho is it think the window seals need to be pulled, painted underneath, and then new ones put in, looks like someone possibly repainted it already (it is white by the VIN tho) either that or the paint is fallign apart under the seals.
only two dents, both somewhat minor, and the rest of the car is just covered in key/screwdriver marks, nothing dented in tho but its down to almost bare metal.
still deciding if i want the 99 front bumper or not cause this stock one looks wavy.

yea, this one we need to do good around the windows, i think it might need a R?F fender, some hackjob painter guy looked at it today (does work for our shop) and he said it's bondoed, but i dont think so.
Oh and in project news, the motor came out rather easily and quickly today. Found some unseen damage (sway bar went CRUNCH as did a part of the subframe, but no bent frame)
Tomorrow we start some under dash work and finish pulling the trans out caus ei was lazy today, pretty much pulled the motor in an hour or an hour and a half if you include pizza and cig breaks.
anywho, motor should be going next week for street port and rebuild by Ihor in clifton and then i'll just march down the list of things to do.
Car should be running and on the road by february, at least thats my goal.

I asked his partner about my motor, I think I got blown off now if they are doing yours
we can do good around the windows, as long as the window guy puts the right moldings back in
give him the factory ones....
