    RescuRauder, Finally back from the paint shop...

    I picked her up on Saturday after her new paint job and some body work, which included a new rear bumper and spoiler. I think she came out AWESOME!!! It's like having a brand new car, almost! She's come a long way. I'll post a few pics. Check them out and let me know what you think!

    When I first bought it, after her 1st bath and cleanup....

    The first pic above is right out of paint booth (pretty much), the next is after headlights, etc. installed and the final is the day I picked her up and drove her to work (off site).

    Thanks for the replies! They kept the car for almost 6 weeks. I started to have Marauder withdraw symptoms. But, I do have to take it back for a couple finishing touches since their detail guy was out last week with the flu.

    bigcowl-imp: Thanks for the Pass light! Luckily, I managed to find a great deal on a NEW OEM Driver side headlight. Amazing how those little things make such a difference.
    As for the LS swap, it's already got a fresh and pretty awesome motor! So that means that I can save, instead, for an Eaton Swap!
