Default It's One Color, Finally!

I just got my car back from the paint shop Friday. It is finally one color. It's been a long road but it's finally done . . . well for now

For those that don't know the story behind this car, I towed it home about 1 1/2 years ago from behind a guys house where it had sat with a blown motor, torn fender and trashed interior for a few years. There are a few little things that need to be done, but for the most part it's finished. The most pressing thing is I need to figure out the driver side window. I replaced the motor and now it's even more problematic than before. If anyone has any experience with this and wants to lend a hand I would greatly appreciate it. Here's a few pics I just took.

Lol, no, this is an "extra" car - something to pour my "extra" money into, spend all my "extra" time on and drive once in a while.

Let's just say that I've never been accused of being the sharpest pencil in the box.

Wow looks really good. Now you need to lower the 4x4 status and you will be set.
