yeaaa, i was tempted to just paint it white over the primer after seeing them white...but i decided to stick to gold. and i contemplated keeping the lip polished, but everybody does that.

your car is coming along nicely. i like the color choice for the engine bay. your car is very unique to say the least.

the finished interior will ultimately be gloss black

finishing up the exterior next week (getting it to be less than 3 different colors) and fixing most of the dents as well as filling in third brake light, antenna hole and wiper hole.

and tearing apart the engine to clean, paint and reassemble (pics coming soon)

ironically ive spent more time on the interior than any other area so far. (does that make this a show car? LOL) but i have a feeling the wiring will take me about a week.

@ motegineon: yea, stripped with 2 seats, manual seatbelts (that i got off of a stanza) dash and center console, and maybe floormats if i can find a decent pair.

@ 1993Coupe: NA for a while, then maybe considering turbo while keeping the ITBs. but will be NA for a good year or two.
