After being in primer for the last few years ( bought the car in primer) its paint time. I am helping tear it down but my good friend is painting it. Hopefully should be done for spring time. Got the last piece I needed a new front bumper. The org one had a chunk missing.

For now I'm sticking with the maroon interior. Everything is in perfect condition except the headliner. So i don't want to dye nor do I have the money to replace every piece. Hope it doesn't look to bad when all said and done.
