Haha figured might as well do some undercoating while bodypanels are off the door.

:) about to start on the car again in an hour and hoping to get a lot more done. My goal is to finish it by next Friday and put it back on the road!

So did some re wiring today. Made my sidemarkers that are on the side of the bumper blink with the blinkers and also alternate when the lights are on.
Here's a little clip :)

Also my driverside headlight had a broken tab that attaches to the side fender so i hacked off what was left...
This was after i cut off the broken tab and straigthened it:

Donor light on the floor :lol:

Got my front fenders mounted :) and lined up with the bumper and headlights. (Bumper wasn't secured it was just put in for alignment) Also started the front lights restoration, I have finished 1 out of 6 lights. ( 2 headlights and 2 fog lights and 2 signals)

Thanks guys :)

So i started on the headlights and managed to finish one side and ran out of materials :suicide: so that was put on pause.

In the mean time i pulled out all my speakers and deck as i was going back to stock setup except for the deck. Re did the radio harness so its plug and play and started pulling out the amp and speaker wiring.

Should finish up with the wiring removal today then install the deck and panels back on. Finally able to get some trunk space back haha.
