I don’t know if this is the right spot for this, but I don’t have enough posts or something to put this in the projects thread. I’m getting my car restored, it’s almost done… Check it out ---

Lol that’s hilarious… When I uploaded, they previewed upside down, but when I posted, they show up all good on my screen… I guess they’re still upside down… Sry folks… Maybe that’s why there is a min post limit for the project thread… To keep forum noobs from messin up the threads with neck breaking pics… I think posting from my ipad has something to do with it… Ill try to fix it on a computer when I get a chance ---

Car looks minty fresh. I would have gone with a different colour of wheels, but that’s just because I like a little contrast. ---

The first 2 pics are the car as it was before the paint job. It’s a,most done, I get it back tomorrow I hope. I’m taking the 20’s off and putting the white wheels back on when its done and putting on a big intercooler I had the bumper cut and modified too, as you can see in the pics The restoration came in just under $4k, and there is 2 thick ish coats of clear on top of the new paint Can’t wait to see it in the daylight ---

No cut and polish, that makes the price go waaaaaaaaay up And it was a full body restoration Like most imports, it had a few small dents or bows in the roof from the container, And the bumpers, and he straightened out the rear quarters, and sandblasted the fender wells, He fixed about 20-30 small dents or ripples, There was 60hrs labour into the car before the paint went on, Took 2 months. He does really nice work, and does up some pretty cool cars there Mostly old American cars, Novas,chevelles, he’s got a barracuda in there now, and a couple Cameros He’s got a really cool 64 stingray in there too! It’s mint! Anyways I should get it back tomorrow. Then I can put on some goodies… Like RUCAs a FMIC, strut bars, and turbo back 3" straight pipe. Wooo! ---
