Progress pics of my car
Well I have been doing some body work on my car and would like to share some pics of it.
I had a factory r1 wing on the back and decided to take it off so here is where the holes are being covered up on the hatch. Also the person who did the bodywork before did a poor job when shaving the antenna and the rear wiper and nozzle so I redid those areas.
I also had some small dents in the driver side door and both rear 1/4 panels and some under the doors.
I am still working on it but most of it is done.
I still havent decided what color to paint it.
Im not going to have the motor pulled for the paint job so Im not sure what color I want to go with. I am down to 2. Innocent blue mica (20p) and Midnight purple pearlecent (lp2). Which do you think would be the best choice? I know that the purple would go best with the purple thats already in the motor bay but Im not sure because I really like the blue also.
The decision is basically down to the fact that then engine bay will be purple. Do you think it will be that big of a deal?

I like the IBM color better, but there's getting to be quite a few IBM FDs around anymore. The Skyline color will be more original and less likely to find on another car.

I have the blue on my car and REALLY like it....
but wont the purple in the bay really clash with the IBM of the body? Do you plan on painting the bay?

Yeah, my favorite color is IBM, but since your engine bay is still going to be purple, id go with the purple. It will be very original and will look very sharp.

I havent given it to the painter yet so you still have time to change my mind.
And scheistermeister I use to think the exact same thing, so your not alone.

i like the blue, but there is alot blue fd's running around. purple reminds me of prince , so i wouldnt go with that. black would be nice. but it really comes down to what you like.
