Default project turbo Y8 (56k no way) Lots of pics!~!

I'm posting this one up for my cousin skunk2unerz.

well anyways, after months of bs'n, we finally got the car painted. it was red at first and now its millenium silver. we haven't gotten the motor in yet, but there's a turbocharged y8 engine to be put in. here are some before and after pics. we'll update you guys on the project as we get into more since we got the car back just a few hours ago. enjoy!

Thanks everyone for your nice comment. This is after months of BS'n that I saved enough money to get it painted. I been waiting for this time for a VERY LONGTIME to do this. Now its time to do the motor swap and then booooooost.

Not sure what rims gona go on it yet...but maybe something in bronze or gold.

Turbo setup is custom setup i been piecing together for a while.

Paint job was done by a friends shop in Kansas City. Shop name is VTECNIK Autobody. He did this for a very reasonable price. He did all the body werk, painted engine bay area, and inside (partial) and outside. And he did all this in less than a week. He worked very long hours to complete this. If you want more info about VTECNIK autobody..send me IM and I will give you his information.

Wow, that's a big change, looks really good. Millenium silver was a color I was considering a few years ago, does it have sort of a green hue to it from some angles?

Nah no green hues....not any that I have seen yet. Its more of a silver metallic in the sun and get darker at certain angles. The color is from the 2000 toyota 4runnner.

Really? hmm, that's the exact color I was considering cause my co worker had just picked up a 2000 4 runner at the time, and I liked the way it cast a sort of green or olive hue at certain angles in the sun. Either way, the car looks great, good job
