Did you replace (or repair) the door skin and fender, or was that done before you bought it?

What's next?

Actually, you can't really tell from the first picture, but the door and fender were poorly done with flat green paint. It looked terrible in even the best conditions. So that was just where I started primering first. I'm eventually wrapping all the way around the car. Probably this friday (tomorrow) sand and primer the rest of the front (hood, bumpers, passenger fender). More if I can. And I need to fix something inside the drivers door. The handle doesn't work from the outside. So That's on friday. And I'm gonna change transmission fluid pretty soon too...

You deff. have a lot of work to do! But the interior looks like it is in good shape, and those rally wheels dont look bad. Fixing them up will give it an awesome stock look! Man, that 231 looks tiny in there! But it'll be a great project car that for sure.
