i cut the pos cage out of the car. where the main hoop met the floor i ended up just cutting it out completly, ill fix that in a few days. also going to do some frame connectors. also did a quick wipe down on the door panels and rear panels to get the dust off. with some better stuff, not greasy armor all they will look like new. also thanks to jesse for cleaning her up a bit
