Well. So day two. Made some progress
When i picked up the car. Starter was shot. So replaced that

Reworked the trunk and got a new lid for it
also replaced the battered hood

Temporarily threw in my 93 lights in
To reshape the trunk support and taillight area to make sure things line up

Well. I ordered a boat load of items and been making random trips to the junk yard


So got most of the body panels i need to replace
All the trunk items are replaced except the struts


I tackled the brakes because all of them are shot and either missing or almost shot
