    Went to the body shop to day to drop off some stuff. Started a page with some info and pics. Click here if you want to see some pics.

    (The page may load a little slow. I am trying to find a better photo module for joomla! that makes thumbnails.)

    I think they cut the first quarter back in October, so about 4 months.

    I was debating between dark purple or bright red. Think I am going bright red. I am not doing any of the work. Its at a small local shop. They work on it when they are between other projects for time and material. They let me bring in my own parts, bumpers, hood and so on. Figure it might be done by fall.

    Nice eye. Yes that is a Jag, not sure what type. I think XJT or something. Supposed to be mega rare cuz it has A/C and a stick or something.

    Is that a Grabber decklid and spoiler? It's been forever since I've had my spoiler off but I thought my decklid had more holes??

    Isn't the bill on that body work gonna be like massive? I mean that many hours of work at $60+ per hour! I could do my whole car over again with the money that you probably put into the body work alone on your car.
