Don't pay intrest and or loan fees when you don't NEED to. If you needed to fix the car to drive to work or school, a loan MIGHT be in order. Save money and buy the parts one at a time. If you do that and take your time, you might find better deals on parts and save even more money on the long run.

Your car looks great and makes my very jealous. My Pinto has along way to go before it will look that good! The interior work is a good way down the road for me, rust repair first.

Thanks guys!
As you can see in the video, the passenger side floor pan had some minor rust issues, but the driver's side floor pan is horrible and I can see right through one of the 1/4" holes. I have an old raggy bath towel under the carpet right now to keep it from getting to much worse. I also hit it with the wire "brush" on the pneumatic die grinder and some "rust converter", covered by some primer.
The body is in rough shape as far as paint goes. There's a 1" diameter spot on the right fender that the paint chipped out of, which I am currently figuring out the best way to fix that. I have filled it with bondo but I still need to fill it one more time, sand it down and paint & clear coat it. Hopefully that will be done before the summer comes. So aside from the paint, not to much bad with it aside from some under paint rust in the bottom of the passenger's side quarter panel.
The car looks a lot better now than it did last summer as I have done some paint touch up all around (the scratch above the gas cap and on the middle of the trunk lid). I have painted the trunk interior black and am currently working on the inside of the hood too.
