So needless to say we needed a new trunk. But we also found issues in several other places once we media blasted it. As a normal car lover and not someone in the business its crazy to how a car can look pretty decent with paint and body filler. But when you media blast it you see the floor, doors, trunk, area where the top goes down are just awful. So here are a few pics of some of the work.

So we need to do a full floor on the car but while its opened up we can work on tucking tires and fitting engine, and brakes on my new speedtech extreme sub-frame.

It sucks to find out what hidden mess lies beneath.........but putting all those parts on surely puts a smile on your face, nice getting back in the saddle again. Looking good!
