I don't know, guess I just wasn't thinking at the time. I could have replaced the whole right side in one swoop instead of multiple pieces. I can't wait to get my wheels in though, going with Rushforth Livewires in 18's.

Got the spoiler on today, looks great!! The bodywork should be done Wednesday, just paying my friend so it will be done before boss gets back.

Also just put in the order for my wheels, can't wait! 18's all around. God I hope I don't regret not going with 17's in the front..

You won't as long as you ordered the right backspacing. A 235/40 fits on the front with no problems.

The bodywork is pretty close to being finished. Found some rust at the bottom where the door and quarter is and also a pin hole around the back window. The car looks like hell in the pics but the bondo is very thin and not caked on since the body was really clean. Only old bondo was on the fender where it meets the door and a few other random places like the sail panel. We painted a cool blue today but I think it's going to look too "ghetto" with the big wheels and what not.

It won't look " Ghetto " if you lower the car and get the stance right.
