Flat black beauty before and now pics

[lppro]

So I thought I would post some pics of my project. Ill give you a little background on me and my car.
I'm 17 and have been saving up and dreaming about rebuilding a car from the ground up I have always had excellent how to skills and stuff I used to build go carts and such.. so I had been saving up for a wile and decided to buy a project car so I found this supra. its a 88 turbo Targa with 65k orig. miles on it. a great starting point. bought it for $1200 excellent find! so I've had it since April and heres some before and during pics,

lol

now its only missing a few things.. I got some rims I haven't put on yet and I'm getting the missing moulding soon...
so what do you guys think? pretty good for a 17 year old 1st timer?

Lppro: Not a bad effort
(I spell checked the 1st post)

Just remember things and practices you learn now will stay with you for the rest of your life while working on and building cars.

Wow... there are people on here younger then me!

Anywho, you've taken it a long way, but I absolutely hate the flat black look; to each their own I suppose.
