Default Back from paint! Formula red.

I had posted the car up for sale to finish up my M3 race car build but since nobody picked it up for cheap. I decided to put a little more into it and keep the car. This is just the beginning of it for this car. I still have my parts to put on this weekend but here are these pics for now.


Before:








After:












stay tuned for more!
