2001 Neon project

I bought this 2001 Chrysler Neon in January for $800CDN with 119000 kilometers (73000 miles) on the the odometer. It was fine mechanically but the body was beat worse then your wiener. Rear pass side fender and door were badly scrapped. Bottom of drivers side fender was smashed ( how you do this and leave the rest of the fender perfect remains a mystery to me) and I think someone was body slammed on the roof. How someone could be such a crappy driver is beyond me but, there the project began.

Here is what I have done so far in her rebirth:
Popped out most of the dents
Replaced the rear door.
Srt-4 wheels
205/40/17 tires
RT side skirts
RT exhaust
2k2 conversion
projector headlights
lip (might need a another visit from the heat gun)
Black leather Racing seats
Black leather door inserts
Black leather rear fold down seat
Carbon Shift, gauge and dash bezels.
Shaved emblems except for Chrysler wing on drivers door.

Here are the future plans

Srt-4 hood (on the way)
Shorty eye lids
Rear disc swap
Deal with rest of roof damage (proper roof scoop? sunroof? any ideas?)
Deal with rest of body damage not much left. Seems to be around fenders so being as I will be grinding and painting maybe wide body fenders?and then spacers to bump the wheels out to meet the fenders

Any ideas for any of the above? I can hear it already......lower it. maybe in the spring when the snow isn't higher then the front of the car.

Thanks for looking

More pics would be a good start. And please don't do a roof scoop, that would be gay IMO. Just get someone to do a paintless dent repair if you have it most of the way out.

Good start by the looks of it. :rockon:
