Is this normal

[VX MileHigh]

In the week since I got my VX I have done the following:

Fixed right fender that was pushed back and binding on the door.

Removed front cladding and fixed "L" shaped hole in the cladding.

Removed wiper arms and valance below them to take care of some rust issues.

Bought new lug nuts to replace the rusted ones on the vehicle.

Fixed to small crease lines on the hood insert.(I haven't gotten it sanded and painted yet)

Ordered several factory OEM parts for various interior parts missing.

I have to figure out what to do about the bumper in the front because there is nothing left of it. I am serious when I took the front cladding off there was just a small piece left in front of the radiator.

I have started to renew the cladding using a heat gun. It looks pretty nice but time will tell how that will last.

By the way, bssage, I grew up not too far from where you are now. I also went the the University of Iowa my freshman year.

For the rest of you out there, I have taken lots of pictures, I just haven't had time to upload them yet.
