Finally took new pics, I plan on fixing this baby up it needs some cosmetic work. I'm debating on either replacing the doors and trunk all together. Or just get the dents popped out. I'm getting the fenders replaced for sure though.

loving those seats. you should find your swap and do that before paint. i painted mine then did the swap now there are little scratches everywhere. most people wouldn't noticed and you can't see em in pictures but i know they're there
