oh, and, if you don't think you have the eye for detail (even the slightest pitting in the bondo and primer work can cause nasty things to happen to the good paint) and if you have any doubts on the prepwork - invest in having someone else do it
but if you're just unsure of exactly HOW to do but have the confidence to give it a shot then I'm still here to help you out...
or you could always bring it on out to cali for a week and we'll do the whole damn thing for ya : )

: ) more to follow...

Trust me...if i had the money, and about three weeks to take off from school...i'd drive 5days out there so you could lol!

I have faith in myself...i'm the kind of person that wants to experience everything about my car....I also have a friend that helped his dad sand down his car so he would be willing to help me as well...
I'm buying a new front bumper...falling apart car and it's cracked..it's just a wreck hehe.

I do have a couple of questions tho....

There's some rust on the trunk lid, and over the drive side door...how would i go about fixing that area....i know they have some kind of rust stopper stuff that you can get (i can't remember the name) but i kind of want to get it out of there completely that way i don't have to worry about it...Should i just get a new trunk lid?...i'm going to be having this car until it literally dies on me, so i don't want that to come back and haunt me later on

Second...i was looking online and they have "primed" and "raw" front OEM bumpers for my car...would raw be better? cause all of this probably isn't going to be taking place until the summer time so i can sweat like a dog here in florida and save up some moola but i need to go ahead and replace my bumper before i run over it one day lol..

anyways, fill me with knowledge..just not too much
