The Topaz Project
This page shows photos from my body repair work on the Spring and Summer of 2002.
There are also photos of the rocker pannel ground effects as they were being modified
to fit the car. (See the far right column).

This has been a great car. It has provided years of safe and affordable transportation. I
am still proud to drive it. I hope that you get the same service from your car that I have
received from mine.

Both mirrors were this bad.
