Yea the inside had to grow on me as well but i do love it now.. Yea the old white one was my favorite for sure, furthest of my never ending project but this one will be even better.. The black coupe had titling issues and it appeared to have been hit on the driver side when i removed the fenders that's why I scrapped that shell..

Thanks home, nothing close to yours though..

Varsity meets died early last year due stupidity, not sure if it will rise again next year..

very cool!

fact is, the scene has come more or less full circle and rice is back in. not the cheap APC and andy's auto sport rice; less tacky and more sophisticated, but wild nevertheless. I say big to the color.

@EGallmota

how did you get the paint on your block to sit so smooth? or is that just post processing on the photo to smooth it out?

glad to see progress, I also didn't know that rota made them in 16x8 without the extra holes, time to start looking for some.

EJ_ALLMOTA

lol.. nice way of putting it but to some degree your are correct..

its not post processing.. its really smooth.. i primed the block with high temp paint with the mindset of painting it but liked the way the primer looked so i just cleared it with high temp clear.. nothing special.. Rattle can job, just took my time and painted like i was using a spray gun..

they are super hard to find and you definitely won't get it for the price i got it for 3 years ago.. Like i said I've been sitting on these..

Here is a pic of how they were when i just received them back in March 2010..

The paint job on the bay... Time to figure out what route I'm taking with the wiring..

whitesihatch

bay looks good. pm me the price on the wheels

EJ_ALLMOTA

Been really busy with work and this cold weather hasn't been too motivational.. Anyway since the bay got sprayed a few of the suspension parts received some over spray so i decided to pull it all off.. Planing to paint them all back black and undercoat the fender wells and the lower portion of the bay while it all cleared out..

Spraying the car the same color, I hope.

EJ_ALLMOTA

Nah its not, I'm being a ricer and painting the car back white.. The whole inside of the car was already green when i bought it so i just decided to have the bay match..

Why was it green on the inside? You should paint it the same color. Diff. Color bays looks super tacky.

I have to agree!

On a different note, the polished GT3's look good!

EJ_ALLMOTA

The guy I originally bought the car from used to auto cross it and he painted it free, I dug it so i kept it and matched the bay.. I like colored bays within reason, the white straight through was clean on my old coupe.. I just wanted something different.. I am not painting the exterior that color because I just couldn't see myself hoping in that everyday.. to each his own...

EJ_ALLMOTA

Finally got around to messing with the car some more last week.. Started painting over the front suspension pieces from all the overspray during the painting of the engine bay.. Ive only resprayed the subframe so far.. I also decided I would undercoat the inner fender wells as well as the bottom of the firewall, exhaust tunnel area.. I will probably end up under coating the whole bottom..

whitesihatch

that bay is a little loud lol! great work.

Honda904

You got a good taste in cars +1 on the clean build!

EJ_ALLMOTA

lol, yea it is.. but the more i work on the car the more i love the bay, just did it to match the inside of the car..

Thank you very much.. Trying not to cut any corners on things I want with this one..

Finally got around to working on the car, finished up painting all the suspension parts.. Getting ready for the re-install, then I'm on to tearing apart the rear and giving those parts some love as well..
