ugh here we go the plan was to go to columbus sunday grab the doors,carpet and head back to atlanta..... as with everything that never works out like you want. met up with 99jdmls and finally got rid of the rice 1 pc headlights and installed some oem goodness



next up was to do what i wouldnt suggest to anyone lol this was my first attempt at taking a car apart to this extent....

99jdmls had to work so he was cool enough to let me start stripping his shell down while he was at work so with the help of six7teen and the great ash7 we got started





this was taking forever taking stuff out of one car and swapping it over to the next but i was getting it done plus i was coming down with a slight cold at this point.



donor carpet out


seat belts and side panels


donor trunk and tails installed!!


something told me to grab the old harness out of the donor car good thing i did it came in handy later down the road

doors off donor car


well well well look who showed up to help after me and ash7 did the bulk of the work lol
99jdmls-richard super cool guy really came through for me!!!!


getting the fenders ready to install the doors






super long day and at this point we replaced the doors,headlights corners and trunk also ash7 hooked up the heat and fixed my headlight issue!!
at this point i was on my own and my slight cold has turned into a full on cold im feeling really weak at this point good thing my aunt alice let me use her garage to work on the car.

woke up early and kissed my aunt as she left for work raked the leaves up and took the trash out and got to work on the axleback i bought



went and got some painters tape and taped off the tip and some bbq stove paint to paint the axelback it came out great i love it !!!







did 3 light coats and this thing really came out well i was very impressed

now i bring you to my hell haha nah really i had fun working on this car i really took pride in doing it took the seats out and got ready to clean this fithly thing out..




this took all of the day plus i was really feeling like crap at this point luckily my aunt alice had lots of oranges so i was eating them like candy..

spent the next day sleeping all day this was probably the worst day of my cold....

wed.
felt alittle better!! had to move some boxes in the house for my aunt and did somemore yard work for her and got started on the car

i let the axelback dry overnight and gave it another coat and this was the final result




i was shocked how great it came out!!

onto the new carpet i got from the donor car.

went out and bought some carpet cleaner and gave it a good scrub for about a hour and half..good thing i had my ipod with me





at this point i took a sec to look at the new doors we installed as well as how the car sits at that point.
