So if I went about it the right way, with all new quarter panels, and the rear lowers I'd be looking at $670.00 before shipping costs :(

That's $270.00 more than I paid for the whole car! lmao ugh why do I love this little car so much?


Here's one!

Ok, I'll say it...
Get the cheapest primer you can find, spray the bare metal.
Check that the shock towers are not in horrible shape.
Go through the mechanical stuff and make it drivable.
Drive it this summer! Keep your eyes open for a spider that is not a lifetimes worth of work and spend the money on that!
You will love the next one even more!!

Oh, it's already in drivable shape! Shock towers are good.

I've driven it the last two years, but this year I decided to start doing the body work....Starting to think I should have just left it alone and drove it as is lol
