Tony: Respray plus body work.
Marty: Rims is gonna be easy to clean. That's only about a weeks worth of dirt. For most people a months worth. Interior won't be too bad, it just sucks that it was mint before it went in.
Jeff: Same frost white
Simo: it's not paint or primer
Reza: The other side has no rust, I know it's still on in the pics, but I've checked personally myself before hand.
Wayne: There is no fixing rust, but I know what you mean. So far the sideskirt part was grinded then cut and welded. I'm not sure what they're gonna do about the inner lip on the quarter though. In all honestly, I could care less.
Jay: Only time will tell, but from my experience rust always returns. If not in the same place, somewhere else.
Stealth1: Velocity Autobody
Mane: They're painting seperate doors and mirrors. You didn't think I'd have the rear mouldings shaved and not the doors? They will remove the taillights, when they paint. It's only masked to avoid scuffing the lense cover during prep work. I'll ask them if they'll remove the 1/4 moulding, but from my research they can't re-use it and if that's the case, I'd rather them just do the stick a straw or something underneath to lift it up instead. So Mane your telling me bodyshops don't use "bondo" and if you think the yellowish stuff is bondo it isn't.
Fuzzy: NO....hahaha

Too bad you couldnt source out the OEM sides and the 97 ITR lip in time. Unless you did?
Fresh paint, fresh motor, what else can you ask for! Cant wait to see it when I get back.

I dunno... I love cleaning my car after getting it back from the shop. It's kind of like the last step before the "new" car.
Plus, I hate when body shops clean cars anyways... they use the same dirty *** rag for everything! Them wiping and vacuuming just makes it worse, you have to do it again when you get home anyways.
Can't wait to see it at next meet's week Tren!

For the picky ones, the taillights are coming out and the driverside sideskirt is coming off as well before paint.
Then anyone that wants to check out the quarter panels can do so at the meets...cough cough Jeff
