Body work has begun. I've never tackled a project like this, so I don't excpect things to come out perfect. So far I've been happy with my progress.
I received my front Alpina flares from Mana Motorsports last week, and Im very happy with the quality. They're definitely not flimsy, and appear to be pretty symmetric when compared to each other.
Fitting them has not been much of a hassle, some trimming around the turn signal housing and by the door. I cut the panel off the original fenders that bolts to the chassis (close to the door) and epoxied them to the new fiberglass fenders.
While I had the fenders off, I also went ahead and put down two coats of Por-15 (semi-gloss black).
Now I'm just waiting for my Korman hood, IE rear flares, and Nameless Performance radiator.
