    Default the ej's got a new look...

    okay so i've been planning on fixing this car up since i got it over a year ago. the body has been a mess since i got it. so i finally found a good deal on all the body work and paint. both quarter panels, the hood, the passenger side fender, the trunk, the rear bumpe, both doors, etc etc. lol.

    here's some old pictures for ya.


    excuse the projectors. lol. ****in hated those things





    had to replace the passenger side door. it was beyond hope




    and finally........
















    what y'all think?

    i'll have more pix up tomorrow. i just picked it up today, and i only had time to take one picture before i had to work.

    Looks way better than before, the color's nice, too. How's the quality of the paint job, though?

    -it's definitely not pink or purple. it's a very dark red. maroon i guess.

    -the door jams were gonna be an extra 50 each so i decided not to. i didn't even ask about under the hood.

    -it was $518

    -econo did it.

    too bad they didn't block the whole car before they paint..it will get rid of that unevenness on the flat surfaces(door and quarter panel).
