It was originaly a roma red 96, later made into a 99, and painted white. Got tired of the white, because there are way too many arround. When with something nobody has in town.

Thanks for the comments guys. Its has really been a lot of work, specially because I only work on it on weekends. Shaving an engine bay is a lot more work than it looks.
