Good idea Stacey, I'll try that

A couple more pics of her rolling before she went off to the body shop. I can't believe it's been 17 years since I bought this car

They're friends of a friend and seem positive about doing the car so I'm hopeful it gets done this time! Here's a couple pics of the floor. Not too bad I think. I spent a few hours the other nig...

Well two and a half years have come and gone...and I have to get my car because the body guy is telling me it might be a couple years before he gets to my car. Ya right. Got another guy coming to look at it and hopefully he can do it.
