    Floors were completely rotted out and the wiring he spliced an alarm system into the ignition wiring and cut it all up and shorted out 90% of the electronics in the car.

    was just about done in the trunk so i tore out the rest of the carpet to find i had another rusty surprise. waiting for primer to dry i sanded down the fender flares because previous owner painted them without taking off previous paint gloss so they chipped to crap real quick so i thought while i was working why not make it look good too.

    Nice job on all of it. Of course it is worth it. My wife and I just talked briefly about this last night. I just spent about 300 on new injectors. But the alternative is car payments. And those we don't have anymore.
