Started on the sides today, sanded the clear off and got rid of all the rust stains! Need to fill the cracks in a couple of places and then sand it a little more and throw the paint on and this will be the last parts for the lip!

Thanks guys! Definitely worth the effort, cant wait to get it all back on the car but it will have to wait until mid next week.

I got a guy coming on the weekend to go over my quarter panels.

So I got today and tomorrow to finish the prep work on the side skirts so that i can throw on the paint this Friday :)

Let it dry over the weekend and then hopefully throw it on Monday or Tuesday next week.

More work was done last night!

Doors swapped and did some more undercoating. Both front end and rocker panels were coated.
