Looking very good! I imagine its not too cheap to have all that body work done and have it professionally painted...but its definitely the right way to do it and it looks fantastic so far.

Thanks so much! It definitely hasn't been cheap, but the thought of the end result keeps me going!

Hey man, I gotta pay these paint shop bills somehow!

Actual updates: The car itself should be rolling into the booth in the next few days to paint the jambs, rear quarters, roof etc. Still on track for August 3rd completion.

I think I am going to just put my 96 Impreza motor in it for the summer to work out any kinks with 5 speed swap etc, then do a nice motor over the winter. Thoughts?
