1. shave trunk holes 2. shave antenna 3. shave doors 4. shave roof lines 5. repair/paint/install erebruni sideskirts 6. repair/paint/install stillen front 7. complete body overhaul of all key scratches, dings, dents, body defects 8. paint mirrors

shave doors? u mean the handles? or u gonna be going Dukes of Hazard style? I'm not trying to be funny. I have seen cars with remote windows with shaved/welded doors.

That seems likes a good deal, I just dont want to see you get hurt like last time when you got your stillen done, Learn something from that experience... Take it to a well known shop and pay to get it done right the first time... not to keep having to take it back. Good luck

yes to shave the handles.
this place is owned by his dad, about 20% of the big members of the houston import car club have their work done here, the shop has been there since the 50s, he wants to take over his dad's business....
i think it could be worth it. Just deciding whether to do it or not...i still need new tint on back window, some seats, a new clutch and throwout bearing, but it's very drivable, just noisy when its cold in the mornings...then goes away. I have to rememeber to do the usual car maintence things to it, instead of the looks. aw shit, it needs an inspection next month. no horn, no airbag....hmmm.
ok so 2k is a good deal, eh? The paint looks like glass on some of the rides they painted there, so I'm very impressed SO FAR. 2k is alot to throw down though. whew!

That sounds like a good deal. Does that include an entire paint job exterior, or only the parts that were worked on. Since so much work is being done, the entire car should really be repainted for the perfect match, and you can even customize it with a pearl in the clear coat.

i got my car painted for 1500 and that was balck w/ red pearl.
But, i had to take the entire car apart myself. Meaning the bumpers, sideskirts, window trim, wing, lights.
you might want to think about saving money and taking the entire car apart your self if you fell like it.
