well so far i ripped the car apart fenders bumper ground effects everything off and everything out and took me a whole 3 hours to strip taking my time. no bs just as much as i work on this car i can do it blind folded. im up to $250 in material so far in bondo, sand paper, primer, glaze, acetone (great deal through votech school). The whole rear of the car is done and bumpers and effects are prepped. this weekend is fenders and doors then primer and sand primer and more sanding. so far no regrets for $250 bucks and its turning out great so far. It helps i have a good body guy helping me out at a price for food.

I took it to good shops and they agree on the condition of the car is great and minimal work is needed its just i dont feel like paying for something i can do at home like all the prep work. Kinda like why have someone build my motor for 8000 when i can do it in the garage for 3500 for the same motor.
