I dig it. Color could have used a little more green like you said but I wouldn’t kick it outta the driveway. ---

I’ll probably put a little dab of weld on the end coolant pipes so they don’t blow off… ---

Actually all I can think of is the episode of Top Gear where they look for the greatest road to drive on in the world and Cpt Slow (James May) has the Aston Martin race car with No AC and is driving around in his underwear LOL. ---

Got my coolant pipes coated in brushed aluminum PC and my bumper brackets in black. ![http://onyxsyndicate.com/newman/e30gtr/img/PC_COOLANTPIPES.jpg](http://onyxsyndicate.com/newman/e30gtr/img/PC_COOLANTPIPES.jpg) I put a bead on the pipes with these vice grips I modified. Got the idea from Dan (JUICEDZ4)… In fact that’s actually his pic… but mine are nearly identical. Check out his AWESOME cavalier build [here](http://www.v6z24.com/jbodyforum/juicedz4-build-thread-update-21-jul-t99940.html). I know it’s a Cavalier, but check it out, it’s unreal. ![http://onyxsyndicate.com/newman/e30gtr/img/beadpliers.jpg](http://onyxsyndicate.com/newman/e30gtr/img/beadpliers.jpg) ---

Looks good dude, it’s flying together now. You should set up a time lapse camera so you can make a nice video to compliment the build. ---
