Fresh paint with pics....

well after four years of rolling around in grey primer (wich I actualy liked), I finally got off my a$$ and sanded and re-primered the car. It was suposed to have happened sooner but with the snow and all the rain my projected got dellayed. But I powered through and drove the car over to the painters sat. night... Well I got it back this morning and I started piecing it back together and put my new wheels on it (Konig Septor 17x7) ,install my fuel surge tank setup...(no more fuel slosh and chipped apex seals), install the short shifter ( no more missed 3rd gear), and install a new electric fan.

Paint looks good, but you're missing some door handles.

thats awesome, I really like the way your car looks without the side molding, and the rims just set it all off wicked car, keep it that way!
