I'm going to be honest
I think the only way, and the easiest way is just to put high backs in.

They don't look as good, no
But I don't think ADR's are generally something that the law budges on

haha yeah something like that..

should get blasted on monday, then primed.. (im a little concerned about them priming it in a dirt blasting yard)

then it will go to the bodyshop where they will start the body work ( im looking forward to see whats left after blasting)

then it will sit untill theres a suitable (low humidity) day, and it will be seam sealed, and underbody painted, and

then it will get painted with Voodo metalic

Image

then 1 or 2 layers of clear coat

i estimate to take 4-8 weeks, then i can start putting it back together :)
