I almost told you to give it back from the first pic but I like the progress and your cleaning it up.... good job so far man. I'm digging the 2 tone and the black interior will really clean it up. you gonna fix those fenders and the rats nest of wiring in the trunk?

Look how bad the front passenger is. I might just replace the front fenders.
