Paint is black cherry kandy over copper mettalic basecoat, overcast so you cant see the effect just looks black, will take more pictures in the sun tomorow since its soposed to be sunny.Body work was done by a friend took out all the dints and my qrtrs and fenders got screw up after rolling them.
I did the prep work and primed the car myself, sanded primer and my buddy is a painter he shot the base coat then kandy and clear and i wetsanded the car after.
wheels are bbs lm reps 19x8 +0(with 15mm spacer) 19x9.5 +15
tires 215/35F 235/35 R
Bc Coilovers
shaved emblems all the way around and spoiler brake light.

I replaced the valve seals, timing belt, water pump,seals,plugs wires..etc
Daizen Control front control arm bushings,radiator looked crusty so i replaced it also.
Still got a few things to do before i start taking it out.Going to redo exhaust, got a 3 spoke wheel(have to get a airbag for it). Replace p/s rack and high pressure line and sent out my cluster/radio/climate to OLT then i'll post the interior shots i got mint door panels last year from a 99sc and had my leather redone.
So heres my little project over the winter that took nearly 3 months to finish and its not even done yet.

Looks great. I assume this is the '93 in your signature. Hopefully I'll see this in person at a local Midatlantic event.
