Getting started on painting. The doors and hatch were taken off so the jams could be painted properly. They'll be painted off the car and put on after the hood, fenders, and bumpers are painted.

Been awhile since I updated...the car should have been done months ago, but the body shop decided to not work on it and continue to tell me they were. So I took it to another shop and they're going to finish it up. Here's how it sits now:

My 1k mile front hubs were destroyed in the accident, so I needed to replace them. Decided to replace the wheel studs with some ARP wheel studs:
