Kinda hard to tell...especially since everything is different colors. everything is lining up well. I have a little body work needed on the door which i'm going to attempt in the next week. the bumper definately needs to be sanded and at least primed. I need to pull the passenger headlight apart and black it out.

and the hood is the one i had on when i wrecked. haha. i went at it with a hammer until it fit so i could get home and not have to rely on other people for rides to work.


still much more to do, but some serious progress has been made.
