    So here we go again, its been a minute now but been a bit busy and lazy. Got the front left fender looking better on 4th of July morning. IMG_0775.JPG
    Didn't come out as good as I wanted it but still looks good. Biggest thing that I didn't like was the primer (used primer from spray can instead of spray gun/ don't have air compressor at home)

    Got most of the dents out of the hood and passenger door this past weekend.

    Before IMG_0803.JPG
    and After IMG_0809 (2).JPG
    and here's the door (did this one in a hurry so i didn't take off the mirror)
