I cleaned and painted the under tray.

The power antenna is also back together.

Thanks. It's my now $8k+ free car, lol.
I also when to the salvage yard last Wednesday and picked a bunch of parts off an '85 GSL-SE they have there.
-metal roof with brown headliner
-brown floor mats
-rubber bumpers for under the hood
-all the brackets that I plan to have replated. I planned to remove all the bolts and brackets from my car that I was going to have plated. Now I don't need to worry about the car being down while the parts are plated. I will be able to just swap them out when I get them back.
Now I really need to find a place that can do the plating.

Thanks. I'll look into them.
If it comes down to it, I found a place in Junction that can do it.
