rear passenger door/quater panel.
front end w/bonnet/grill swap
engine bay clean up
center console repair/replace
steering wheel replace
full respray of paint
engine/gearbox repair.

its not really in that bad a shape, gonna need some panel beating done just infront of the rear wheel, and it needs a full respray as i hate the colour and its mismatched and when i tr the front end its gonna be green/white which will look bad >.>, when i get round to fixing the engine, was thinking of spraying it too. hate dirty looking engines lol. plus thinking of working on it and seeing what sort of k's i get for a full tank, and then customize it abit to get the full down

may not be hard to do, but knowing what things look like, is a different story. i've worked on a v8, a straight 6 engines before, but never worked on an efi engine before, or did anything with the electricals of a car. so im learning as i go on the magna, so i will keep the updates, and pics if people request em
