Well. It's about bloody time that I made an update on this thing!
After the tradgic events of the last post, I had lost my willpower in the car and lost interest for quite sometime with it in storage at my olds. If you look at the post dates on this thread you will notice it has been pretty much a YEAR since I have even touched the crown. Quite embaressing.
Recently I have deceided to stop moping around and get on with it.
First of all thanks to Sam (Loceda) for hooking me up with the front doors, shown in the pictures as green. This was a great help in replacing the damaged doors and was able to get back on track. I have also replaced a damage rear right door with one that came as a spare part for the car.
ANYWAYS...
I have spent the last week off work sanding down the crown in an Air hanger.
(yes, an Old School'r with no garage of his own *shock horror*)
Since there has been lack of pics, i have taken quite a few tonight.
The job isnt 100% complete. But you get the drift...

OLD DOOR DAMAGE
EPIC NIGHT SHOTS
ARTSY SHIT (Now I recall why I love this car)
I know its alot of pictures for just a sanded down car. I will filter out some when I add more updates, so it keeps the project thread average size.
Oh and for those who are wondering, the rear right door isnt on because just as I was about to put it on, I noticed that the opening mechanism was broken and the handle was jammed. Grrrr.
I have decided to leave the majority of the chrome on for now as it is awfuly brittle when trying to remove.
I just have to get a little bit of paneling done. Which will hopefully be quoted this weekend!
Project Discussion
I will keep yall posted with any advancements
