I loved everything about that car, it just needed a more reliable engine in it. Oh and it needed to lose about 1Klbs. The SC weighed a tick over 4K.

CONGRATULATIONS! I just got my new ride couple of weeks ago, same color, same condition, same 1st mods. Congrats! We have a very similar car, love mine. The first thing I did though was order a Steeda oil filter/separator & mount it on the fire wall. Have Fun!!

Well, it's been a long time coming, but I finally got a week off from work. Hoping to have it back on the road by tomorrow.

Ah the horrors of not having a proper paint booth, every gnat in a 20 mile radius flocked into my clear coat. Going to have a fun time sanding the little ****s out.

Teaser shots though.

4 coats. Little over a half gallon in all. It didn't turn out perfect, but not bad for my first full job either. Will see where I can get with some wetsanding.
