SEM trim paint, for now. Its a temporary fix.

What year is the chassis again? You will have to show me the rear window seals

[straight6pwr]

89 - only the best year ever. plastic bumpers + pop out rear windows.

[B C]

Agreed, 89 is the best year, followed by 87, then 90 and 91.

I guess I dont have those window seals that you replaced then

What reinforcement plates?

small update from the body shop guys.

fyi, going with no "rock guard" on the front valance. should be purty.

[Earl]

Gonna be sweet=)

[Jdesign]

Noooice. Cant wait to see it painted.

[straight6pwr]

now, the real question is when am I going to get a phone call from the body shop because they cant get the coolant bled right? #swapcarproblems

[m42b32]

Looks like its coming along really well!

[Earl]

Thatll be a fun call lol

[Bassboy3313]

What body shop are you using?

[straight6pwr]

car is back from body work. the shop I used was Authentic Automotive. I give them a 7/10. They left my new carpet dirty as hell from their shop boots so now I have to clean it, and (per my odometer) they drove the car 3 miles, and they had no reason to need to drive the car off their lot, so...

core support straightened and valance installed/painted.

got my spal fan installed. hooked up to run constantly on ignition, will have to figure out wiring to temp switch or a dash switch at some point.

front end put together.

i also got the rocker panels repainted, wheels installed, and rear suspension set to the right height. a bonus is that the 16" wheels/225 tires ride softer than the snow tire setup. i'm guessing its the cheap Nexen tires having squishy side walls. the car handles still handles very neutral with a bit of throttle oversteer.

Looks so good in the pictures.

Wow! Looks great!

White>Black any day.

I know that sounds wrong but its okay because I own a Black.

Im upset that they drove it though[emoji58]

Maybe to re bleed the cooling system? And do a burnout maybe

[Bassboy3313]

It's hard to find good, honest shops for anything which is why I was curious for when mine gets painted. Yours looks damn good!!

Verifying the cooling system is bled is a legit reason to put a couple miles on the car.
