Starting tomorrow! :D

Having a buddy of mine clean up ALL the rust, missing paint, and bang out a dent in my hood. He's also going to be color matching my grille & mirrors. Removing my antenna, 3rd brake light, all side molding & badges, and also the chrome wheel-well moldings. He's also redoing all of my interior pieces.

THEN, after my buddy does all that, im taking it to my mechanic to install a bunch of brand new shit. TYC clear elegante headlights & parking lamps, DDM 6000K HID's, high-4 kit (if DJ ever sends it out lol), billet grille inserts, and a billet bowtie to top it off.

I'll definitely be posting progress pics. They both live literally right down the road from me so I can check up on it whenever I want to. Can't wait to see it finished!

why are you taking it to a mechanic to install your new headlights and grille all you need is a screwdriver to take out the parking lamps and a socket wrench to take out the 5 bolts that hold the grille in place. Just saying you can do it yourself ans save some money

I don't have any tools and I honestly hate messing with electrical shit. Plus he's replacing my driver side door handle and I don't even know where to start with that. He's a real good friend and I can go hang out in his shop while he does it and help him and I just throw him a little money.
