ZX Almost Finished !

I am almost finished with my 83 ZX. Of course, i don't think we ever get finished, but I will be at a stopping point for a while. I have completed a motor swap with a rebuilt motor, put in new carpet, recovered seats, restored wheels / with new tires, and have the car primed ready to paint. I am about a month behind schedule, since i wanted to have it ready for ZDAYZ in May. The final pic is what it will look like when painted. Notice the hail in one pic, luckily my car was in a barn being worked on when it came, but my son's WRX in picture suffered $ 4,800 damage. Thank God for full coverage!!! Tell me what you think of it! Thanks !

Man am I glad I'm 90% done w/ my resto job... sanding... filler... sanding... priming.... hammer & dolly... more priming.... wet sanding... wet sanding... wet sanding. I got my body perfect & primed, then focused on the engine. My body has been primed for 3 years now.
