Just passed inspection so i'm eager to get this project finished. I still have to install my set of 90 fenders/corner lights and maybe a new bumper plus minor body work but this is how she sits.

Option 1: Disregard the engine bay, door jams, etc and get a recoat of Torino Red for a stock, clean look.
Option 2: Full strip down to the shell and start ground up. 100% clean body work, pull the stock motor and everything in it and do a color change keeping stock USDM body with all black trim.
Color Change Options:
1. Dark Gunmetal Grey
2. Black
3. Championship White
This is gonna be my one and only car, I'm saving for a nice swap but right now its body work time and this is my car to get around.
Lets hear it

get that fugly vw off my thread
If I painted the car torino red again, i think id get the mirrors and handles done with the rest remaining stock, but Id still want the engine bay redone, its a mess.
on the other hand...a full color change would be so fun..and.....easy.

id say gold but then youd be biting wu-tang. and his car is top notch[minus the damage].
nothing like the og two-tone black paint with satin black plastic moldings
its hard to take care of but if you think about it its the smallest car youll ever own so its alot easier then taking care of say a black BMW/SUV later in life.

im terrible with taking care of the exterior. hopefully when this is painted, ill change my ways, but black is my last option. I know I cant go wrong with the stock color so thats always in the back of my head, but dark grey or white intrigues me... I WANNA HAVE A H-T CAR!!!
