My pics and story are old, but here they are:

Before:

After:

It's a recovered theft and was totaled. In addition to the exterior they had hacked up the inside quite a bit too.

Car still looks decent despite a quick-and-dirty paint job.

I bought it in '04, an all original car. It took a lot of time and work( not to mention money) to get it where it is today.

A pic of when I bought it. The only thing I changed at this point was the rear wing corners, and a ton of cleaning

Damn nice pics! My non car guy buddies give me crap about my car all the time and how much time and money I spend on it but I just tell them that it's like being an artist except i cant paint a picture! I just build my car!

Thanks.! The frame guy did most the hard work. He yanked it straight enough to hang new 1/4s on it. Everything lines up nicely. There are a couple of adjustments (the decklid sits a little funny at the back window, for example) that I've been meaning to make since I got the car back but it's been 7 years now and I still haven't done it. Time flies......

It's not necessarily an English thing, car parts have a language of their own. I refer to the 'trunk(lid)' as the 'decklid'. Same thing.
