Default 98 GS300 Transforming Log
I bought my car 7 years ago wanting to fix it up with a kit, wheels, drop, etc.. Im just now getting around to it and figured I would share the progress with photos.
Stock at the bodyshop

Stripping down to prep for paint

I had a dent in the roof and rust forming where the windshield meets the roof so I figured I would just paint it black along with the trim that runs from the front to the rear window. The trim is not not installed here

The trunk will be painted partially black where the window and black trim meets, and follow the natural curve of the trunk.

Job Design kit being painted Diamond Pearl White in the booth

I was thinking about doing the black roof, but now that I see it, I've changed my mind
