I bought the car at night...bad idea on my part. Found out that it was in a collision later on when I inspected it during the day time. I got to look into it and possibly get some hammer time ♫♪♫can't touch this♫♪♫

Damn that sucks...I would suggest cut and buff if you haven't already. I learned now not to buy a car at night.

#313065 So I made some YouTube videos. Haven't really done much to my car since it's been raining. You know how everyone likes the rain.

Here's a vid I made on my door lock actuator relays: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoSwu9i4 ... ture=g-upl

Here's me driving in the rain: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLrdf0Tr ... ture=g-upl

#313575 Today I painted my mirrors...they've been primer since I had the car. All the painter did was take off my mirrors and put them back on.

The mirrors were a pain in the :x to get off with my door panels on. But I got the mirrors off with the help of a long nose pliers ;)

Total time it took me was 2 and a half hours from start to finish.

Looks a lot better in my opinion. Now all I got left to paint is the door handles, side skirts, and the roof molding. In the future install some side molding.

Here are the pics

Since I had the car

Sanded and cleaned
Image

Last coat of trim paint

Installed back on my door
