Here are some pics. The car has a black base with 2 coats of the red and 3 coats of the clear. It needs to be color sanded and polished. Almost done though...

I still haven't finished the build. I still need to drop the tranny for the r154, put the turbo on, have calipers powder coated etc...right now im working on a new trunk setup for the air ride. But i do have more recent pictures of the car. I need to have him respray the driver door as there is a difference in the shade of red. youll see in the pics.

I also wrapped the rear parcel shelf. I plan on doing a glass one over summer. but this was to tide me over until then.

still needs to be cut, waxed and buffed also. So the paint will be super wet looking. I have been slacking on the car. i was going to sell it and buy a used maserati quattroporte. But i realized i really don't want a car payment. Plus were planning our wedding. so there is that...growing up kinda blows. stay young everyone!

So i had to replace the front headlight/bumper support because the bumper would fit right. Either my body guy effed it up or someone at the shop did and tried to fix it thinking i wouldn't find out. Well i did, luckily i got a replacement for 40 bucks. So i was able to get the bumper on and it fits great. I also re wired my air ride and made templates for my trunk setup!

So i came up with a simple say to hide my air ride electronics, and my mono amp. The driver side houses the air ride electronics and the passenger side has the mono amp. It needs to be carpeted and i am shopping around for a longer but slimmer 5 gallon chrome air tank. Which i will weld some brackets to mount it up inder the tank carpet lip and give me more trunk space.
