Thanks for the comment SupraStorm1080! Although this is just a learning curve for me, and it's a way to prove my talents to anyone questioning my abilities.

I love people's train of thought... I don't fix cars for a living, therefore, I could not possibly know HOW to work on them...

AH, My hardtop just showed up at my shop this morning, I need to get to work on it, but there is SO much crap I have to do first.
Heidi and I finally sold our Vigor, and now it's time for us to rebuild our 93,000 mile 90...

TODAY!
I didn't go to the garage with a ton of motivation, but I did manage to drill out the spot welds of the battery tray and remove that, and i didn't forget the camera!
New pics!
Most of them were blurry though... ARGH!! More to follow soon...






and a quick snap of my work area...

Had some hatch leaks, but you'd be surprised where rust hides, Justin.

Rust is like Chuck Norris. It never sleeps. It waits.

For Grant specifically, and thanks to my BodyShop, I didn't even have enough time to get pictures of them when I first got them!
They came in around 12noon, and got sent right over to the bodyshop, and were painted within 4 hours.... total cost for paint: FREEBIE!!! :bigthumb:
