well what should have been a simple paintjob will now turn in to a full out resto.  first off.. if your leaving your car for any amount of time.. make sure its inside and taken care of.. 

as most will remember my gn well.. WAS mint. after inspection of getting it down here.. the car is in very very rough shape. rough shape to the point of almost no return.. after poking around (literally ) the other day.. i found cancer. the only good thing is so far everything that i have found was going to be replaced anyway. where the cancer is it was starting when i parked it. i planed on cutting that piece out anyway.  in the up coming weeks, months and years there will be alot of pics of now and after its done.  so far on the list:

new doors- dont NEED them but i can get them cheap enough.
right 1/4 needs to be cut out around the wheel well (cancer)
some a-hole left a rubber chicken on my MINT passenger seat and it kinda melted no.gif
total strip and repaint
new weather stripping all around
new pass. fender
2 front gn rims (maybe i can save one)
2 gn center caps
new tint
new windshield

right now thats all that i know of.

let the fun begin :rolleyes:
