My 87' Spree Makeover. Start to finish.

Post by Hymenator »

I bought this baby from a kid in Idaho for $200. Ran great, looked like a train wreck. Here's what I've done so far. If anyone has any tips, mod suggestions, or other sweet ideas, please let me know!

you know...every one on here seems to leave the fender reflectors on when painting...i mean, why tape them up? they unscrew and screw right back on.
i'm wondering if some people either A: dont know or B: have trouble getting them off.
any ideas?
seriously, i can't find the old threads now, but it seems like everyone that has step by step photo's of their paint jobs has a picture of the reflectors being taped off.
