Those front lights.... If you must keep them, get eyebrows or swap to the 94/95 hood so there isn't a gap. Shudder.
Other than that, looks pretty well cared for and could be a fun canvas to work off of

Looks good. You know you could polish those steel wheels to have chrome looking rings.
Although aluminum, here's a rim I painted and polished on a Jeep I had
This it what it looked like before
On a buggy I had, the fuel tank was painted and metal very pitted
After polishing out with a grinder with different grit wheels
It used to be a air tank for brakes on a semi tractor trailer

very nice! did you black out part of the headlight housing? what did the front lip come off of?
You are going to eat through those rear tires pretty quick with that camber. My tires look brand new on 95% of the surface, but the inner edge is totally worn through and I never even realized, it wore on such a narrow band. it looks nice, but i just bought some camber arms to adjust them out a little. can't afford to be buying new tires regularly...!

Thanks, I didn't black out the headlamp housing, but they do have a smoked look inside. Those rear tires have about 6k miles on them and no camber wear (yet) I did add a bit a toe in during the alignment. Helps compensate for the camber (a little at least.) The lip is a modified mk3 deep lip.
I should put up some pics of how my rear tires wore, it's nuts. Good looking car though man, for some reason it really speaks to me!
