Cool My First 1st gen - It has begun

I just picked up a 1st gen a few days ago and I'm ready get this project started. It's a 12a and I think I'm going to keep it that way.

The wide body kit, the fabric for the interior, and all the engine and suspension stuff is on the way.

Tornado Gray, V9, the finest of 1st gen colors. A fine choice. Please keep the factory color on the widebody. It will look so incredible...

small correction on the color name. in 84, it was called tornado silver metallic, color code K8. in 85 it was called custom silver metallic, V9, as jamie stated. now we need to find out the year of his 7.
