Post YOUR Del Sol here

#167067 hey everyone. this is my first post on here. i bought this car for 800 bucks fro, a salvage yard and i have redone the whole body... i have many plans for it but here is what i have done now.
Image
THE CAR HAD RUST REALLY BAD ALL OVER
Image
Image
Image
CORE SUPPORT WAS PUSHED WAY BACK
Image
Image
I BOUGHT A USED QUARTER AND DRILLED IT OFF AND WELDED THE NEW ONE ON
Image
STRIPPED THE OLD PAINT OFF AND SEALED IT
Image
Image
I PULLED THE DENTS AND FIXED THEM
Image
Image
STARTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE RUST. THERE WASNT ALOT SO I CUT IT OUT AND SHAPED METAL AND WELDED IT IN
Image
Image
Image
Image
I USED PAINT STRIPPER ON THE DOORS... THERE WAS ABOUT 4 PREVIOUS COATS OF PAINT ON THEM SO I STRIPPED THEM DOWN AND FIXED THE DENTS
Image
Image
Image
I SEALED THE CAR AND GOT THE QUARTERS PRIMED AND JAMES PRIMED, READY TO BLOCK
Image
Image
Image
Image
GOT IT BLOCKED AND READY TO BE PRIMED ONE LAST TIME
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
I BOUGHT A NEW HOOD, FIXED THE CORE SUPPORT AND FIXED THE FENDERS
Image
Image
Image
READY FOR PAINT
Image
Image
AFTER 4 COATS OF BASE AND 4 COATS OF CLEAR...
Image
WET SANDED WITH 2000 to get the little dirt specs out... then i sanded it all with 2500
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
STARTED BUFFING
Image
Image
PUT THE FRONT BUMPER BACK ON BUT AS YOU CAN SEE IT DOESNT LINE UP VERY GOOD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BECAUSE THE CORE SUPPORT IS SCREWED UP STILL
Image
Image
Image

OH YA I ALSO PAINTED THE JAMS... JUST DIDNT SHOW IT. ANYWAYS LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK
