Yeah, I like it. It's kinda purple if you get it in the right light-but for the most part to me it looks blue (im color blind so I like it no matter what! lol!) Sorry for the big pics, but I think it helps show the quality of the paint. They are 50% original size anyway. Tell me what you guys think!

 

and yes. it was painfull (meh, i spelled paint wrong...blah!)

 

Very well done! When u putting it back together?

 

He has yet to paint the bumpers, and he says hes going to do the hood and rear quarter panel again (perfectionist, but I appreciate this quality) But hopefully it will be back on the road by next weekend! Thanks for the complement

 

is this the same one that was hit in the parking lot at a high school? if so it looks like it was repaired nicely!

 

That's hot, very hot.

 

Yeah, and unfortunatly the ****** who did it is going to get away without having to pay for a single thing. I wanna friggin kick his a** but I'm not that kind of a person. I think the guy did a great job reparing it, and since my friend Rob (Turbo II Opel GT) used to work for him, he fixed it and painted the entire car for $1450 (450$ damage + 1000$ paintjob) I am very pleased with the work though.




Just thinking of that pisses me off...I could have bought a V1 or ...roll bar, or maybe a new set of wheels. But instead I had to pay for somones $450 mistake. Oh well, now I'm just going to be paranoid with the new paintjob lol

 

That looks great. Very nice colour for an SA. My 7 has similar damage to that. Problem is, it was further back and shattered the tail light. My " friend" backed into it with his 80 Camaro (aka the tank). I actually just collected some of the money he owed me from it last night. He agreed to pay me $300, and that was about a year and a half ago.

 

i like the colour bro, looks good. i think you got a really good deal too

 

i like it, and he did a good job fixing the body..BUT the i wouldnt have never changed the original color, it looked soo good. but thats my .02

oh yeah, im fixing to head to the shop...i might fire up my wankel this weekend

 

I too agree that it looks great. You did good for being color blind!

 

Looks like Porsche Zenith Blue.

 

what is it lik ebeing colorblind?


anywase, I was gonna tell ya. it looks so so so so sexy. the car looks like it was made of glass. the hood is as smooth as a babys bottom :OP

 

WOW!!! Thats freakin nice!!! what is the color called??? man 1000 bucks for a paint jib is NOT bad!!!

 

Thanks guys, being color blind doesn't really bother me- but I've never seen color so I don't have anything to miss haha, the color is Estoril Blue Metallic, and I picked it because I saw it on a BMW M Roadster and I thought it looked good. Aws140, man, I'm sorry you dont like it - I thought I was getting a close to the original color but it turned out to be a little darker and different. I'm still happy though-as I said- I cant tell!! lol, it could be pink and I would still be exstatic! lol. We gotta go hit up some roads whenever your widebody project is done though!

 

yea that color definetly looks good on there. cant wait to see it detailed with the wheels on it!

 

So the places fix hail damage and stuff, dents? Well, I will look forward to getting my car painted one day.

 

dont get me wrong man, the car is beautiful. i just fell in love with the color of your car when i saw it at DGRR. my car isnt planned to be widebody, but will be on the road real soon

 

It looks like your money was well spent. The amount of trim he took off looks like he knows his way around a seven and/or knows how to paint a car. For someone to admit inferior work and redo it would give me a woody. If it was anywhere else and you challanged them on the quality of work they would take that path of least resistance and discount the cost of service.

 

Looks great!

i like it alot!!!!!
looks sweet

 

Congrats on a nice paint job and great repair. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Now, about this TII Opel...

We demand pics.

 

Alright, my friend Rob is actually a forum member, maybe he'll chime in here later. He's working on the engine at the moment, but he has plans for completely ridiculous brakes, suspension, wheels, as well as other modifications- roll bar and such. So far, hes mounted an S5 TII engine in there, welded up custom exhaust, installed a (friggin sweet) radiator, along with other stuff that I can't think of at the moment. I'll let him speak for himself-and keep in mind, these pics are of the early stages. It is a work in progress, and I expect it will look quite outrageous when its complete!

 

Looks kinda like '84 tender blue. Nice.

 

Looks good man. Nice choice.
