              hey bro, my plan is to get all other parts brand new. i have to get my fender, radiator support, hood joint since the previous one i think is a bit messed up. after that is a few spots i have to take care of on the floor, windshield area and trunk. So as i'm at it i'm strongly considering a colour change to Sepang bronze metallic. i think that would look awesome

                I hate rust!!!!!!!

                well I did a bit more digging under the carpet and found some rust spots. Luckily its not that bad but needs to be addressed quickly.

                passenger side after some poking around with a screw driver, i found sum tiny holes which turned out to be much bigger than i thought.....so out came the blind plugs and its time to get that fixed
