Fun weekend. Wish it didn't rain Sunday or more would have got done.
Removed rear emblems and filled the holes. Removed the single driver's side mirror and filled the hole as well. Rear fenders are cut and the rear fender flares are on. Fixed a small rust spot that I forgot in the rear hatch area. Removed the giant bumpers and brackets, still have the rear bumper shocks to remove. Relocated the horns since they were on the front bumper brackets and cut off the rear "fin". Found more rust... Lastly, made the measurements for the new mirrors. They are ready to be cut next weekend!
Everything went pretty smoothly but I wanted to get a lot more done this weekend. Tried removing the lower valence for the new front air dam but the bolts were all rusted and didn't have enough time. Will have to wait til next weekend.

**I'm at work now and only have a couple of teaser pics**
I'll post the rest of the pictures when I get home today.








The pics are right after welding. They have since been cleaned up. More pictures tonight!

The condition was pretty close to the what you see. It had been sitting for a while and needed detailing and some engine work.
