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.

a few teaser shots on whats going on in the interior right now.
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)

after working alot, ive been able to save up enough money to get everything lined up for this car. and now i can work less and work on my car more, i cant wait till i work less and drive more haha.
heres a couple more pics.
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.
