Just a update on my car. Havent had much time since i got the car back from paint. But little by little its getting together. The interior is all back together. All the trim and grille, bezels, and lights. Since i used aftermarket new doors i was dreading installing the window regulators,latches,handles and glass.To my suprise everything fit very well with some slight adjustments. Its almost all done. I did drive it for the first time in 2 1/2 years which was a big milestone for me. More pics n updates soon to come.

Hello everyone. After 2 1/2 years its all back together. I installed all the regulators and the glass in the aftermarket doors to my suprise everything fit great. Installed the metro door weatherstripping it fit like crap especially the roof rail. Im ordering a set of soft seals they fit much better imo. All i have left to do is move on to the rear suspension. I have stock boxed arms but scored a deal on a brand new Hotchkis set up for $300 so in it will go.
