ok so pictures of the car sanded at 40 grit. most of the rust has been removed and the body is ready for bondo and fiberglass. the bumper has been removed also and i polished it with "Mothers : Mag Polish" looks like new its amazing. but im going to remove the rear bumper today and do the same. i bled out the bumper shocks as you can see in one of the pictures.

ok awesome well i checked it out and the plate is faded out... all i can make out is the workd color. =/ but the shock isnt really giving up. i bled the gas but it just wont budge. ok this is the update. i have this spray that loosens up bolts so i sprayed it in between the gap of the shock and i undid the bolt on the opposite side of the phillip screw and it worked. does it matter how much space i take off? can it still fit?

well i just tried to remove my dash. i noticed i have ALOT more cracks then the example. =/ but i got the top screws off but when i got to the last one.... stripped it. =( so i need to go to buy a stripped screw remover from somewhere. more money down the drain. : ' ( and i tried to knock some dents out of my door took about 30 mins to take the door panel off and figured out that knocking out the dents would be impossible. but i have the entire car sanded with 40 grit and im going to move up to a finer grit tomorrow morning. not a very good day for me.
