Here's the fender and some of my skirt removed. As you can see, not all of my skirt came off right away, but I got the rest off later.

Here's the body line, found a little rust on the edges here under the skirt. But so far nothing unrepairable (....so far)

Just a pic of the messy interior, kind of all torn apart.

2gb skirts FTW!!!!

Decided to go ahead and work on removing the rear bumper. Didn't take a whole lot of time, alot less than I had planned.

Threw the 2gb rear bumper up there just to see how it looked.

Here's the first test fit, obviously there's alot more to be done before this looks like it should, but its a really good start compared to I was at.

But then there's the bad news.....I found a "paint bubble" on the strut tower. I then proceded to scrape it away and sure enough, it was more than surface rust. It seems its only bad where the hole is though, which is a small enough that I'll be able to cut it out and weld a small piece of steel in its place (the rust on the furthest left is only on the surface and was able to be sanded away.
But it scares a guy none-the-less. I'm not really sure what I'm gonna find once I start to get deeper into this build.
