As some know from Bstuff I have been working on restoring my GTU for the past couple months. ÂÂÂ

For me it has been a relatively slow process as I am currently in College which is about 130 miles from home.  But a couple weeks ago I finally got around to painting it, and last weekend I started putting it back together.  I am pretty excited about the progress and results thus far. ÂÂÂ

A small project summary for those that dont know.

I bought the car as my first car when I was fourteen.  After restoring it orginally, it had been a daily driver off and on ever since I got my license.  The car has been sitting lately, so I decided to tear into it and fix "a couple things."  Well after I started I really just didn't stop until everything body wise was taken care of. ÂÂÂ

I ended up sandblasting the entire inside floor pan and trunk area, and the complete bottom.  I also welded in new rocker panels (custom bent steel) and repaired all chips and a couple of small door dings on the body.  I also ended up pulling the back window to put a new rubber around it and get it retinted.

A load of pictures during the process can be found on my photobucket:

Every picture that shows a complete car is from before the "restore." ÂÂÂ

Well here are some pictures of the car as it sits today:







Let me know what you think  

I think it looks great, once that thing is done it will be hot

Painted already!  Dang you work quick.  I'm going to need some rocker and restoration treatment in the future lol.  I think I'm going to start saving up do I can pay you and your dad for some help with that .

nice quad z in the backround, i want pictures of that too! get them together!!!  

Some very nice looking body work. I hope I can even come close when I paint the GT. I started doing some sanding and priming today,but I'm a long ways from your result! Looks GREAT dude!!

Thanks for the great comments guys.  The pictures are of a pretty low quality.  If it wasnt for my fundementals of engineering exam this coming weekend I would probalby have it all put back together.  Oh well

Anyways I'll update the post with some completed pictures in a couple of weeks.  

On a side note; Anyone know how to edit topic titles?  I apparently pasted a line in there that I didnt really want.  Any help with that and I would be very thankful.

I think you get a few days to edit and then thats it.   You might ask a moderator though, there's a list at the very top of the page.

Well it isnt really that big of a deal to me.  I tried doing it right away but couldnt figure anything out for it.

heck thats why i checked it out. i was like what f*** lol
but the car looks really good. can't wait to see it finished

What do you want it to read? I can change it.

Yea, I think the only way is by moderator. I've tried to edit topic titles 5 minutes after posting and couldn't. It's one of those things that needs to be updated here.

All set. The car is looking great!
