Before and after
Still need to do some assembly, but told everyone I would post these.
Still have the turbo, 5-lug swap, bullits and a whole bunch of parts left to do.
Think I'll call it a year after the assembly. Dont really have a choice with my next deployment starting at the beginning of the year.

All together...really couldnt tell you. Did it myself.
I took a couple of college auto-body classes for $60 a pop and stop counting after about $500 in Dupont Chroma products. I would say around $1000. This is concidering all the rust proofing (POR-15..love it), 2k primer, primer sealer, base, clear, seals etc. Since its all fairly new to me, I miss-calculated some paint amounts, along with alot of fixing my own screw ups. I think that someone with more knowledge and talent could get the same results for alot less. The chroma line paints cost a bit more, and I probably should have stuck with the PPG stuff I've had some time with. Regardless, the local college classes helped the most. For the price, I had all the equipment, a heated paint booth and an experienced guy to tell me what I needed to refinish. It was great, hell, even had the wife helping me. Gotta love a women that will put up with your attitude and still wet-sand or help re-assemble.
