How much did you pay for it? I ask because you've got a lot of (expensive) work ahead of you ...

Yes, I hope you got a killer deal. Otherwise that car is worth more being salvaged for parts!

Nice color but not sure about the deal. That rear quarter's gonna need alot of attention but you got the parts pretty cheap guess it doesnt matter long as your happy and now you have a project to keep you busy. Any estimate how long its gonna take to complete?

Good luck, keep us updated with the progress.

Default Welcome to CL!

Tint looks good.

Just give your Lex some love and (hopefully) it will return the favor!

Good luck!

i work at a body shop one of the bodymen is charging me $500 to replace quarter panel no paint just body work as some of you might know there is alot involved in the process...

only had the car for two weeks love it already the interior is mint car drives like new only thing that is bothering me is a/c pump is making a whining noise when a/c/ is on ?????
i have no idea what it could be
i flushed the lines refilled with conditioning oil and new r134 gas
funny thing is when i got the car it did not make this noise started a few days ago
