What are your further plans for it....paint, etc?
Not sure yet... right now I like the way it looks, but it needs some body work for sure. But aside from that, it needs new door seals all around, new front door window moldings and seals inside and out, a new rear hatch seal, and new rear hatch struts. While I'm doing all that, I'll work on blacking out all the chrome trim around the doors, rain gutters, and the rear hatch window.
After the body is sealed up good, the passenger quarter has a small patch of rot right by the wheel well, and the rear windows have rust in the back lower corners, and there's a hole in the floor under driver's seat from somebody (myself or my Uncle) losing a pair of double A batteries under the carpet years ago. Nothing a body shop (even a mediocre one) can't handle though so I'm not worried about it. Might have them install the polyurethane body mounts I got while they're at it. There's also a hole in the frame right where the rear bumper struts mount on the driver side, but that's non-load bearing and again, a good body shop will be able to patch that.
As for paint... if I ever DO paint it, it'll likely be a matte blue... either a Federal, or a Royal Blue while maintaining that flat black hood detail. Either way, I think it will look good with the flat black trim that all used to be chrome. With the only thing on the car that resembles Chrome being the wheels, it'll make them stand out all that much more. (The chrome trim around the wheels, doors, and rocker panels have already been taken off with no plans to reinstall)
If I wanna be really fancy, I'll do white along the bottom belt line sorta like this: (Just imagine the colors in any way you'd like.)
