Customer bought this at auction, long story short it was a colossal bucket of shit. The car had been wrecked and totaled twice previously, and the right side of the car is from a Spyder. That particular work was done in 1999 (the car is a '97), so my guess is there wasn't a heck of a lot available at the time. It wasn't COMPLETELY butchered, and I was able to get everything back to tip-top condition over 6-7 months or so. A good bit of time was spent waiting on parts, as well as "Shit, they fucked THIS up TOO?!" and having to re-do things a few times just to make absolutely sure everything was as perfect as it could possibly be. Despite the hiccups, it's as good as it'll ever be, and drives better than new. Once I was finished with all the work on the car, my pal Nick Chapman of Nick's Custom Detailing came down and spent a few days getting the paint on the car back to looking like new - it's AMAZING what simply cleaning and polishing a car up properly can do for the cosmetic appearance! Woot!
