Nothing too fancy,I should say.
It was bought out of province and when it came in it turned out that it had some quick fixes in the front end and driver and passenger doors.
Then it started flaking at the front bumper.Then I backed up into a post,which was dividing one business' driveway.Then the trunk hutch caught on rusting the lip and doors started to bubble at the caulked seam.
But the biggest disaster was at the molding on the driver's door all the body filler(and there was a lot) started to slowly bubble along the molding.

One day I said that it was enough.

Now it's all freshly painted and getting all the hardware attached back.

It took 4 months for the guy to slowly get rid of all the problem point.

Pictures will be posted once it's back home.

Nice! I didn't get a chance to go last week. Later this week looks promising. I'll probably hit up Stevens Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday snow dependent. Today was okay, some sun and a couple inches on hard pack.

I haven't been up to Steven yet this year. I went for the first time a couple years ago. Mountain was great, parking tight, brutal traffic on the way home. Took me almost 3 hours to get home.

Yea hopefully we can get a couple good storms before the season is up. I got some time off coming up this month was hoping to hit up mt baker (never been but heard its great)

You're going to love Baker. It is what everyone makes it out to be.

Stevens is quiet the drive. It's taken me that long to get home as well. Now with Stevens upping their season pass prices, I think I'll get a pass to Crystal next season.
