thanks for the support guys, i know this one is gonna be a doooozieee. I just washed it for the first time it seems like in years. Clearly a chick owned it before me but i think i like the pink calipers...atleast for now lol. Bad thing about washing it...i realized how much work i really have cut out. This body has seen better days thats for sure, but ill keep yall posted (no pun intended) lol

Pretty good deal for 450 bucks

[93DrunkMx3r]

thanks...i actually paid 350 for it but after i got it titled n tagged plus 8 bucks for the degreaser i bought....put me at about 450 lol. I like to believe thats what people call a "steal"

[93DrunkMx3r]

im in Newport News on the other side of the james river. Hey not too far of a drive for me...soon as i can get her more reliable

[93DrunkMx3r]

So of course part of the $50 paint job that was administered by the previous owner was overspray.....lots and lots of overspray....EVERYWHERE sooo i decided to grab a razor and take to the mirrors and glass, just a snippet of what i did.
Before:



aaannnnddddd After:



soo atleast the mirror itself is cleaner now...as well as the rest of the glass on the car....now i need to work on getting the paint off of the rubber seals n such...they might just get replaced

[93DrunkMx3r]

Her she looks after her first bath....dam look at the body. A ding or dent in every panel.

I was wondering what my car would look like with strips and now i know lol. If your looking for something to help take the paint off the seals and such i bought a product called Krud Kutter its for removing spray paint from walls.

Comes in a spray bottle and you can spray it on a rag and wipe down the seals, its not as harsh as some products. I used it with good results. Can find it at your local Wal-Mart near the paint removers.
Hope it helps .
