So, I bought this car back on 2/8/12 ... I was REALLY excited to finally get my very own ELKY that I now have to admit that I was a little "trigger" happy... let me further explain...
I've been reading through a lot of threads these past three days and I WISH I had done so prior to purchasing my vehicle... When I first posted in the NEWBIE forum, I posted a picture of my "new" ride and yes, to the untrained eye this car looks nice and that green paint does turn heads!
But once I got down and dirty, to start my own restoration/modifications, I found some things that I just don't know WHAT I'm going to do!!... Long story short... I'm rusted and totally bummed about it!!!
Again I'm not only new to El Camino Central, but I'm honestly new to "working" on cars period... The most modifying I've done to a car, was add a cute little bumper tag to my 2003 Honda that I got as my first car... With that being said, I'm going to need a LOT of help from ALL you guys! I need your knowledge and opinions! PLEASE!
I'll be posting pictures of the damage to follow, please leave your comments and in put, it would be greatly appreciated!
The only thing I ask is that you DON'T tell me how the guy who sold me the car got over on me! LoL (not funny!) I already know and I'm done crying over my own mistake... I'm ready to move on... with the help of you guys I just might be able to without my tail too far between my legs...
