And so it Begins....(Updated pg.36)

Re: And so it Begins....(Paint is On!! pg 29)

So Steve, do you feel better about the choice in shops now?

I really do. They have taken care of me, and put up with me. I honestly have no complaints, other than the money involved. If the price was cheaper, then I'd have less of a car, with issues creeping up in a few years. For the same amount of money paid, I doubt that the other 2 guys I looked into would've repaired everything that the shop did. Im nothing but absolutely pleased and excited. As for the bill, they have offered to let me make some payments. I currently owe them about $1300, although it will be higher yet as the week goes on. Not many places would offer to do that. They've done a few things that i havent liked or appreciated, but overall im very happy.

:cheers:

Here's a few more taken today by the significant other. These pictures are better than the ones I took yesterday. They definitely seem to capture the color.

Well, it definitely won't be done. The back seat needs new upholstery, and I need to get a headliner. Thanks to the paint, I won't have the funds to truly complete her this year. But yeah, she'll most definitely be on the road by then.

Well, she finally came home last night after 4.5 months. Of course, though, there's a few issues. The biggest is the gas tank issue. It seems that the driver side bracket didnt make it on, and we never caught that. Not their fault, as I never gave them the other side apparently. Ive only got the passenger side bracket on, so only one J bolt for the straps can be attached. So, no driving her for awhile I guess. They also broke my turn signal lever, which isnt huge, but the one in it was my only good one.

Anyways, here's a couple of pics.
