Default <$1,000 Makeover

To celebrate hitting the first 100K in my '97, I decided to see what I could do to give her a make-over with a $1,000 budget...

This included...
- removing & carpet-cleaning seats
- pulling out old gross carpeting (won't scare you with details of what I found under my kids' seats)
- removing interior trim,
- scrubbing clean, degreasing, priming, and rubberizing interior floor,
- adding new seat cover for front bench,
- scrubbing & sometimes sanding clean all interior vinyl & plastic
- removing, cleaning, degreasing, prepping, priming, and painting all exterior trim pieces,
- cleaning, degreasing, sanding, preppring, priming, & painting door jams,
- ditto tailgate jam,
- paying for exterior paint job,
- sanding, scrubbing, degreasing, prepping, priming & painting old rims with metallic silver along outer rim,
- painting interior of rims black
- replacing old rusted lug nuts with new chrome locking nuts
- spraying rubberized undercoating in needed areas underneath
- adding Ipod connector

Here are the results:

What do you think? Suggestions?
Thanks!
