Hi
There was a ton of paint on her. No major repairs needs a ton of fitment so it will take time. My first time sanding a whole car.

Hi
Just a quick update on the 2000. The panels have been aliened, the gaps set and the first cote of primer is on. Now Mike is going to block sand it. Then should be ready for paint.

That's the worse sun visor I've ever seen. You win first prize

In all seriousness, I wish you the best on your mods. There has been a few sets of C7 seats installed lately on the Forum. Looks like a great update over the C5 seats.
