Haha. I think I'm impatient. I just dropped it off and want it done already lol. I bought some interior stuff and I'll be getting the seats and console ready, and collecting the last bit of parts.

Sometimes paint prison IS that long...

What kind of time frame were you quoted?

I don't have a time frame but I'm sure it'll be done in a couple months. I took care of the metal work. They'll have to go over each panel and use some filler here and there but not a lot. Its also stripped down pretty good.

I think they are Goodmark brand. I bought them from somebody. The quality is good but I did have to do some cutting and welding to make them meet the tailgate lines. I was satisfied overall though.

Probably. Too bad, those are good little cars. Glad Miss Loretta didn't get totaled, that's the main thing!

[thelonerife]

Thats right. She's upset because she really liked the car. Its been a good one. The only problem we've ever had with it was the stepper motors on the dash cluster. I changed those out and that was it. Its had regular maintenance too. We did put two windshields in too from rock chips. Last one was a couple months ago. bummer. It only has 120K on it.
