[QUOTE="mikey060, post: 3747979, member: 562939"] hah i suppose. well, heres where im at then.... basically i realized i dont have the time/money to complete this during school. i finish school in late april and will be working right away. this can go one of two ways... a) i figure i need atleast 1500-2500 to complete the whole body work/paint job to the way i like it. i have a friend whos uncle used to be a body pro, and may help me for free, or close to it(he used to build a lot of show cars so this could be a good deal for me). anyhow, im going to try to set something up for late may. basically i need to fix all the **** on the left side of the car(pics to follow), fill rear old spoiler holes, shave the antenna/washed nozzle, old rear wiper hole and get the car sanded and preped to the best of my ability. if i can get a bit of prep work done, get the paint bought, and either trailer or drive the car to his house (~5 hours away) then i can get it painted in a day or two. this is the best scenario. b) i finish school, wet sand the paint and polish it to a nice shine, fix the damage the best i can and spray it with a rust resistant paint and paint it a similar blue ( spray paint) and basically jsut put the whole paint project off for a while. this is obviously not the way i want it to go... i imagine a is what will end up happening. i may be getting a job with Schlumberger, and if that happens i should be making pretty good coin(its one of the leading oil and gas companys around here. and if you know anything about alberta, it is we have a lot of oil and gas haha). anyhow if i do get the job, i will probably end up having a shop do the final important prep steps along with paint the car. other things that will be done to the car will be new seat belts, new stereo, including a sub stage, front components and probably an alpine touch screen. and i few other performance related things...(maybe front mount intercoler/boost controller.) and if this is all done by june, i will be drivign the car to california for a few weeks and staying in newport beach. and of course that means a lot of pictures/videos. but thats a while off haha [/QUOTE]
