I dont have much money right now, I know I cant get anykind of sheet metal, because I cant cut it and I dont have a grinder. I need a dremal (if thats how you spell it). I've been spraying the trunk with rust killer, and most of the core support, I may need prolly 2-4 cans of the rust treatment/rust killer.

Right now, I have no way to get to my bank, I have bikes but they all have flat tires, I can walk, but it seems like a bad idea. I would walk, but I'm kinda wanting the time to work on the car while I can.

I'm going to get a small video of the Monte Carlo after all the interior is back in. I cleaned everything but the carpet, I mean I tried to clean it, 5 times. But that thing is just annoying, theres a big gunk/sticky spot from where a open mountain dew bottle used to be (from the guy that sold it to me used it as a trash can basicly). I'm going to sell more and more so I can try to quickly get the money for the tag, because I really would love to drive it now. I can drive it down to the gas station down my street with no problem (because I am getting gas or filling my tires), the cops even said it was ok, unless I'm filling the car up to go somewhere else, that would be a problem. Also if I were to just go get a drink instead of gas or air in the tire, they would have to give me a ticket.

The first car show around here I will go to no matter what, but I have to have a tag ofcourse.

Theres a leak somewhere by the back windows , I have to take that trim off to seal it, but theres a problem, the thing I used to un-screw the seat belt screws got striped, so that is going to be a problem, because I've tried everything else with it, all the screw drivers, lets just say everything.

Edit: What, bondo, I already put the wiper motors back in. It was way before I started on the interior. And about the screws, I have them in bags with a letter, or just where they go. Fuc* it man, I'm just going to walk up to the bank, and get some money. I'm going to do a temp. job, and then when I get all that money from the Maxima payments, I'll go ahead and get new floor pans. I dont have $100. now, and if I did, I wouldnt spend it all on the floor pans which arent too bad, I mean theres holes, I just gotta watch out for large puddles. I'm going to put something over it so it wont get wet inside, but the floor pans will be removed once I have enough money and somebody to weld everything (or I can have a stroke of luck and find a good cheap welder, or even barrow one).

Edit, again: Sorry, just read the top part of your post, its going to be both, resto/daily driver. Theres no problem driving while its getting restored. I'm not going to do stuff like I did in the Maxima, take it off roading go out on long trips, just drive around for no reason, do modifications that make it look extremely ricey, ect. (I cant go on for hours, but I'll stop).
