| First,
we must repair prior body damage. The biggest area of damage was on the
driver's side, with a decimated fender, door, and quarter panel. Upon
inspection, Chris found that the only way to keep the
"decorative" details in the quarter panel was to either cut
this piece from another car, or use the identically-styled opposite
front fender (in this case, Right front). "Step by step"

explanatory, so no text descriptions: |

| Once
we got the outside looking spiffy, it was time to strip some weight out
of the interior and make it look prettier than it did after a fire
bottle got loose and went off during an enduro. Check out the page
detailing that work here. |
