jinkl,
good luck with your ride too! i've decided to strip most of the current paintwork myself and then only transport the shell to the welders/painters for them to touch up. should cost me less since i've got some time on my hand AND i will know that i've removed all of the layers of paint+primer. and some rust here and there.
darth,
thanks for the contact. will make a trip to his workshop when i'm ready to start rebuilding the engine. could you give a brief history on him and cars that he's worked on?
kendconcerto,
it's gonna be restored to it's original condition BUT no pimping like what they do on mtv. i find that wayyyy to rice for my taste. but i will make it track worthy. who knows, one day i may be able to enter it for the super series classic category. haha!
i'm definitely all for a roll cage as i've felt what a bolt-on 7 point roll cage can do for my putra...imagine a weld-in cage. :D
still can't post pics because i can't access my photobucket. ish. so irritating.
updates for today:
1. started chipping off the paint from the driver side quarter panel.
2. chipped off mre paint from random areas around the body.
3. realized that i need a electrical sander/buffer to speed up my work.
