Good thing I work at a bodyshop
I had a co worker do all the body work, I did the preping, priming and painting.

Today I started on the door jambs and the core/radiator support.
19 years of a weather strip rubbing on the jamb...

Nice work man. Congrats on bringing a car back to life. Just make sure you never let your friend get a hold of it again.
BTW, what process did you use on the bumpers and fenders? As in, after sanding them down and repairing all the scratches what did you do after that? Adhessive promotor/primer/sealer/base/clear???

I'm actually taking the steps to paint my car right now. The rear bumper looks to be raw plastic and the front bumper has some kind of primer on it. Would you recommend (just to be on the safe side) to just sand them down smooth with 320/800 then do adhessive promotor/sealer/base/clear or what would you recommend?

Easiest way to tell if it's raw plastic is scuff it in an area or sand it with some 600. Wipe it with a clean cloth and if it has anything on it, then it's primer. No need to use adhesion promoter. It it is real orange pealy, sand it with 600 (start with 320 if it's real bad) then seal/base/clear.
If it's raw, scuff with a gray scotch brite and 800 grit and promoter/seal/base/clear
