Cadillac Escalade pearl white to be exact
Thanks. I never bought in to all the jdm hype 
I did too. I was toying with the idea of a CA18DET swap but decided against it. Wish I'd kept it.

With the fiberglass task complete, we could concentrate on the actual car parts. We gave the rear bumper some love (sand, bondo, sand more bondo etc.).
Then the hood got some love.
Then they both got sprayed with adhesion promoter and a bunch of coats of primer.

Looks good bro! You say you are going with diamond white for your color of choice?

I hit up the junkyard a few days later and picked up some complete 90-91 EX front knuckles, booster and master cylinder. Oh, and a 4040 prop valve from a non-abs DA. I only paid $40 for everything...wo0t!
I was so stoked to have finally found some EX knuckles that I went a little overboard ordering suspension parts.
All new brake rotors, Hawk pads, stainless steel braided brake lines, lower ball joints, wheel bearings, extended lugs, ebay camber kit, ES master bushing kit and a gen 3 ETD traction bar.
