Just had to get the car cleaned up (two years of garage junk were piled up), so I rolled it out of the garage, washed it up and took a few pics. It still needs areally good detailing, and a few new black checkers, but Ill hold of on that until its actually running š

I really wish you started with a different platform. However, your attention to detail is impeccable and the car looks really sweet. I never thought a turd could ever be polished so nicelyā¦

Looks very nice, except the rims and taillights look very outdated =(

Thanks guys. The paint scheme is actually copied from a Vauxhaul super touring car, which was red/white/red with silver checkers.
The tail lights are stock, just taped up and painted. I guess it beats having an entire section of red reflectors. :shrugs: Not sure what else I could doā¦ maybee black them all out? That could work, I may toss that idea around when I go to the new trunklid this winterā¦
Also the wheels I bought in 1997, so ya, they are VERY out of date. Im probably going to replace them with some black rota slips. Its pretty much at the bottom of my list since these work still.
And for the record I wish I had started with a different platform too. However, by the time I figured that out I was too deep into this and now I just need to see it through.

Ever think about using a darker dash material color? It looks like that blue can throw up a good amount of glare on the windshield while youāre driving in the sunā¦

What do you have under the hood? You said itās not running so I was just curious whatās going on with that. Again, you definitly do very clean work.

I had that blue on there before, since like 1998, and never had a problem during the day. So I dono, if it becomes a problem its easy enough to change.

Yep, it is. I need to get back to that this fall/winter. Im redoing the WHOLE car, the suspension was just the first thing, since I sorta thought weād try to drive it some as it was, but it just didnt work out.
Im sure Ill start posting some progress on that come november.
