Thanks everyone. Yes, it should be sweet when it is done.

On the paint work all of the props go to my buddy Rob. He's in autobody school right now and his teacher let him take my car in as a project. Usually they do not let students take in full paint jobs, but apparently Rob is "gifted" when it comes to spraying paint. The only reason I let him take it was becuase, like me, he is super **** retentive and has an amazing eye for detail.

Right now I'm really happy with everything. We'll see how the next couple of weeks go when we get everything back together. He still has the bumpers to do and a hose hit the rear hatch gate so he has to do that again.

I had him shave the antenna and emblems. The lip, hood cowl, mirrors, and side skirts were painted. I needed new fenders so I got some JDM units. I'm not a JDM *****, just happened to find a used set pretty cheap.

Right now I'm looking for a replacement carpet. There are a couple of places that look like they have better than factory carpets for less than factory prices. I think I'll go that route.

I've got some motor work to do on the ITR powerplant this winter. The valve guides were leaking pretty bad at the end of this summer. I'm working the head for sure, and I also bought some boost for it. Roots variety. I wanted to go that route rather than turbo for a number of reasons. Should end up with roughly 250whp and torque down low - perfect for how the car will be used.

I'll post some more pics once I get the car back in a few weeks.

The door and rear panel look different colors.

Awesome job though! Wish I could get my car done like that for next to nothing.
