I figured i would document my advances on the cancer on my car and overall improvements im doing do it as i drive it. I dont get to do much with 3 kiddies and a wife but i do what i can.

 

I replace many things my brother neglected to like headlights:lol:

 

1st thing i did was replace the stereo. I picked this stereo because the green matches the green on the dash.

Thats brewer buy the way, hes been ridin with me since 1996. Survived through 20 cars and 3 break ins.

 

Removed front and rear side trim and the mudflaps Found lots more rust after that.

 

So now were current it took me a few weeks but i finally got my wheel sanded primed and painted. But i couldnt put nice wheels on rusty innards so i tossed some red paint on the caliper. Its good for at least 10 more hp.

 

Some preliminary rust work but the stuff comes back faster then i can sand it and fix it.

 

Also have the back bumper sanded and painted flat black, going to put final coats on in a couple days. The last picture is a the next wheel to get worked on and the nice door panels to replace the dry cracked ones in the car. Ill have a picture of that when i remove it.

I got around to putting on my new (used) exhaust on. Its so darn quiet, i can hear all the other exhaust leaks now:lol: Anyone else know where i can score some manifold gaskets.

 

Oh and heres something else ive been working on.

I swear these backing plates look so clean i dont think they deserve to be on my car. Ruberized Paint. They will never rust again.

 

Oh and put the 1st coat on the bumper this morning.
