I wouldn't mind changing the shade, but I think this one's it. I got told $1500 bucks for race red, not about to pay that when I can get this also nice red for about a 3rd of that. I think it'll really set her off though.

I'm soon gonna start taking off a few parts to repair where necessary, and get them primed up. the paint job will probably not be till next year, though fairly early. I'm hoping to get the lift in before too long

that'd be just for the paint itself, I'll be doing the work myself. I know what you mean, I got a slight tailgate dent and a barely noticeable ding around a front wheelwell. some little flares will cover that up. the tailgate I'll beat the dent out of through the removeable panel inside. I've been getting a lot of scratches lately and I have no clue where they're all from. pisses me off, I really can't guess where most are from. once the paint is done she'll get a clear protective coating all around. expensive, but I don't care. worth it to keep her from getting all scratched up.

few pics over time

nope. rescued her from some abusive asshats and put a lot of work into restoring her. still not done. but I see her improving all the time. I'm very proud of her.
