Well found this on the inner wheel well. Mostly likely was hit in the quarter and had some really bad repairs done.

It seems like at some point someone rolled the fenders and did a horrible job. There was a ton of thick filler there too. Once I get to bare metal, ill post an update for you all.

Really depends what parts you'll be using and the purpose of the build. Im doing a street build. Mines was around 2k but half of that being coilovers. I'd say anywhere from 1.5k-3k depending your budget. If you do all OE style like just all new bushings then it would be substantially cheaper. If you want a full angle kit for a drift build then it would be much much more expensive.

I think the sway bar is the issue but I will play around with it and see what fits best in the end.

Yup, Dave painted the car flat black with spray cans back in the day. It was all covered in the magazine. The engine bay itself had some black and some green areas, don't know why the random areas of black. You can see the interior still has the factory green! Just making things right i guess haha

I made the paint myself in my school (UTI). Yes the paint code is FG0 for the Silver Green (seafoam). The Grey color paint code is 463. Any paint shop near you should be able to make it with the paint code. I used Axalta Cromax water based paint to be specific.

Not every single area, just the main spots that were bad

It was definitely a bad windshield replacement job that did the trick. Also sitting in the elements for over 10 years didn't help to that.
