Today i put the rear fenders back on…sorry i urathaned them and am molding them…i had them riveted for a few days when i first got them and everyone including myself agree’d it did not look finished.

I got the hid kit off Ryan with his group buy and im using acura TSX projectors i got off of Trevor. Thanks guys!

The edges and fitment came out perfect!

Estimated 2-3 weeks of final prep bodywork, so as long as that goes to plan ill have it on the road driving without an interior in maybe a month or 6 weeks…Interior will go together in a week or two, thats the fun part 🙂 Im not posting any more pics until shes done…but i will post up the pics between now then the finished project when shes done ---
