Well after a cpl years of saving up the money, accumulating needed parts and now nearly 3 months of waiting on the paint/body work to be completed I got to drive her home. The stock Platinum Silver was faded badly & had a gray hue. She was plagued with rust in the common spots such as the fender lip, door, & not so common spots such as the A piller. I had all the rust spots cut out & replaced with new metal. The door was completely replaced. She was sanded down, primed, & painted Toyota/Lexus Alpine Silver. Here are some pics of before, during and after.
Before:
In Body Shop:
Back At Home This is just after I reinstalled the marker/turn signal lights, front grills, fog lights & Mishimoto Rad from the group buy. I still need to install the interior, A-piller pod, gauges, rear visor & the B-Piller moldings.
i also got new door locks, Ign cyl, (so all keys match) & weather strip for the targa top
Im very happy how it turned out.
