haha thanks juiced. Didn’t see your post before. Well I have really been slacking on the pics but I have been working on the car some. Painted the rear hatch and all the jambs but only have pics of the hatch. ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0325.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0325.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0275.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0275.jpg) Started putting the suspension together to make it a roller. Right after I put it down I realized I put the rear suspension upper a-arm on upside down. Two years in a row I did this haha. Hence the rear being up a lil high. I will fix it in a few days when I have some time. Only takes a few minutes. ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0318.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0318.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0305.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0305.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0308.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0308.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0311.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0311.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0318-1.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0318-1.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0387.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0387.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0392.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0392.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0394.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0394.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0396.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0396.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0398.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0398.jpg) Roller time! ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0405.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0405.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0406.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0406.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0408.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0408.jpg) ![http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0409.jpg](http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/ablake211/IMAG0409.jpg) ---

Thanks. It is getting the turbo kit built right now hence the trailer. If we get a chance to put it on the lift I am going to shoot out with my gfs DSLR and take some respectable pictures to show how perfect the underside really came out. I am much more concerned with making everything as close to perfect as I can then I am when this gets finished. ---

The car was already painted just last year and yes they all match. Fenders are only off because it takes two min and didn’t want to scratch them up. ---

Fenders are only off because it takes two min and didn’t want to scratch them up. It was a joke referencing Newmans mismatched fenders on his E30 build. This build is awesome!!! ---

Oh I know what it was. Just didn’t find it fitting or relevant. Like If I said “off to paint!” then id get it haha. Not just randomly after I post pics. ---
