Exterior restoration, started December 2014:



Some of the products I will be using:







Front fender after new Spohn balljoint failed, this part of the car was PERFECT before:







Before starting I had the bottom of the car steam/pressure washed. I then welded in my Spohn tubular sub-frame connectors with a continuous weld all along the rocker lip instead of just half a dozen spot welds. I also made a new brake hardline and attached it to the Spohn tubular K-member to replace the loose original you see in the pics. Lastly I reinstalled the flexplate inspection cover and the fuel filter shroud:

















Here you can see how messed up the original front bumper cover was and the good used one I am taking the warps out of to use. I'll also be filling the license plate holder holes and not using a front plate anymore:












Goodmark replacement fender is JUNK, curve doesn't even match the curve of the door. I'm now fixing the original fender at great expense:









Here is the great used original aero wing I found to use:








Here are the hood nose grills, I need to make them black again like original:







These are the new front brakes I installed with ceramic pads:











First replacement set of taillights I bought arrived damaged:






Second set I bought arrived with de-lamination:






This is where the body shop is as of 1st week of Jan. 2015:




I'm having them completely disassemble the entire car then reinstall everything so I can be sure all body lines, GFX, side trim, etc. is all perfect. They are painting ALL of the black trim on the car such as the wiper arms, t-top trim, hatch trim. The door handles and lock covers are being powder coated. They will be doing a complete wet sand when done and after about 3 months in my garage I'll have it polished and waxed. Lastly I'll be installing the new set of emblems. I'll also get a clear bra installed on the nose to prevent rock chips.

        The car is going back the beginning of April for them to finish the paint correction, correct mistakes, etc.
         As you can see, they broke a GFX that I have a replacement for they are going to paint. Allot of things still to be fixed and done.
