Default paint+body finally done!
Been a month since it went in the shop for paint and a some fender work, finally got it back yesterday.
Did a couple if extras while at it like shaved emblems (except for front grill) , shaved front bumper reflectors and also got my window visors painted to match body, also new oem headlights as well. Here's how its looking at the moment. It wss really "dumped" before (front and rears were right above the outside lip? Of the wheels. Was so scared to drive it home so we raised it up abit.

Next on the list is; getting spokes of the wheels powdercoated/painted to match car color and 98 Toyota landcruiser fogs!
Then, maybe some better pics.
