ok guy im off to a bad start today. i Was going to prep my door hinges for paint, so i was like oh, ok, i've taken the door panels off before. I started taking them off and i hear, RRRRIIIIPPPP, ripped out like 2 or 3 of the clipps out of it.  :brickwall: Well atleast they are off so now i can start on it.

Also about 3 or 4 months ago (when it was warm) i painted under the hood. Pics later today. But i have decided who needs B5 blue,











when you can have petty blue  :D

pics later.

Everyone always loves seeing some pics..you really don't have to ask  :2thumbs:

I'm in the midst of restoring a 73 as well, so I always love to see someone else making progress on one.  I know I can speak for almost all of the 3rd gen guys in saying that they always want to see pics!
