I successfully met my goal of completing the front half of the car before the new year. Now, it's time to focus on the back portion. I started by chiseling out all the old sealer, removing the old latch brace, smoothing the lock opening, and clearing out the mess of the filler panel from the gas tank. I've also devised a plan to install a brace bar to replace the lower section of the rear valance, which will also support the wheelie bars. The to-do list for the new year is ready and in motion!
