ok this is how it started out life, it was sitting in the back shed of a wreckers yard, (thanks duj) it is a 93 low km car just the body was faded roof ripped and needed a general tidy up, here is the before pics and the level i have gone to, to make sure it goes to a good home and the paint lasts, i was going to keep the car when i started the build but ive found another project car that i am getting a s roller and i want to do a full strip down build up, any way this is it so far





the clear coat was fading and the car had been painted poorly b4 so back to metal it was








i stripped the whole car back to metal removed the rear boot lid spoiler and brake light looks alot smoother, im dreading puting it back together because it took for ever to strip it lol oh well atleast its done rite.

its now in polyester, so dry rub over the weekend and prime then wet rub and paint, wont be long now

what will be the final colour?

not sure thinking wrx blue or pearl red, but could be orange not sure at all any ideas

Keeping it in the family, I would like to see it in the NC sunset yellow!

satin black

satin black? Dont be stupid.

Satin black rocks!

Blacks been done many times already.

Lime green.

Rota,
Have you sorted the fuel problem yet?
Greg.

yeah the blue and red wire was not sending any power to the pump added power runs sweet, still have to trace back throu the car to find out were or what has stoped powr on the blue red wire, its being painted now so will be done when the car is in colour thanks

Great photos, i've bumped up the maximum sized image allowed. Fingers crossed people won't mind.

I saw an Orange NA with white rims yesterday and it looked good. We are talking a flat pastel orange (sunburst yellow style), not Holden tiger mica.

Blue and Red wire sounds like the signal wire coming from the air flow meter to the fuel pump. Basically, if there is no air flow throught the meter, it shuts down the fuel pump.

So do we get to find out what the colour will be before it's painted?

colour will be anounced at midday tomorrow da dadadad daaaaaaaaaaaaa drum roll lol
