Gave my wagon some new paint yesterday

I've been meaning to paint the bottom portion of my wagon since I got it, I finally got a bug up my *** to get it done yesterday and I got on it. I took the opportunity to fix a couple rust spots on the quarter panels, I also had to patch in a missing chunk of my lower front bumper valance and I welded up the holes from my headlight wipers.

Here's a few pics along with some old befores so you can see what it used to look like. The paint color isn't a dead-on match, but it's pretty close, plenty good enough for me. I still need to find some wheels for this car, and I'm going to paint the grille insert plastic black instead of grey. I wouldn't mind a set of the aftermarket tail lights either since my stock ones are both broken.

You'll have to excuse the ladder, I use this for painting jobs and I have another one on Monday so I didn't feel like taking it off.





A couple befores, with and without stock headlights and ugly pinstriping.





Also wanted to say thanks to those who helped me out with my stereo wiring a while back. I do have something hooked up now that works, it's nothing fancy to be sure but it's functional and beats nothing at all.

Very nice. I'm hoping to do that to mine sometime in the near future.
