LOL ya its a big shop. thats just the back door area.
my dad just pulled out his suburban and my old impala and pulled there big @ss motor home into the shop.





so far plans are just REPAIR right now get the body all nice, just sheet metal right now, paint later on.
so far my only plans for upgrading the car is the 99-00 front end of course.
and a short shifter i would really lik e. infact i never knew how good a short shifter felt until i didnt have a short shifter.LOL
i would also li ke to upgrade front speakers and of course put some bass in the trunk. most li kely ill slap my beat up looking typeR subs in it.
power door locks of course with a alarm/remove starter system. YES for a manual i had one on my old EG and never had any problem! i have a habit so im good to go.

other than those minor things nothing much at this time... but lik e anything ideas change.LOL but i have been doing better with my money/credit cards lately. i could have bought all the parts i need and put them on credit cards BUT if i do that im gonna be back indebt paying interest out the @ss for awhile and im trying not to. so far i only owe about 1K total which is alot better than my old 3K bucks i owed

and just test fitted the new radiator support.
i would have painted it today BUT i forgot to find out the paint code on this car before i went out. so i only bought some weld thru primer and painted it at least.... have to pick up some matching paint for it next.
so tomorrow ill prime and paint the radiator support and let it dry overnight before i drill holes and weld it in place.

its getting there... i just need to order more parts...
