Nice. Needs lower and MSP lip!
I've been thinking about doing the plastidip...just gotta make time to do it...I also did the front emblem to match the color of the car (which I don't have a pic of)...but heres a pic of the whole car before I blacked out the headlights and got a shorty antenna...

I've never done it, but the service manual says you have to drop the subframe. It's a rust-free car, and the engine's out, DOOOO IT.
Tonight I took apart my left-front strut assembly to see if I can find anything wrong with it. I did, the bearing is falling apart =/
I put it all back together and now my car sounds like an old mattress when I turn the wheel, ******* great. Luckily I have another old bearing I can swap in tomorrow night...

damnit i was actually thinking of painting my car orange lol. picked up a few pieces from Lewis should be here today tinted tails and 1.8 coil pack conversion. and since autox season is basically over the turbo kit is getting ready to go on. so excited
When we did it with Hung's car, we had to drop the sub frame. Looks like a total PITA with the motor in, good thing you have yours out LOL
projectors are id say at 95% complete. i need to aim them higher still. the adjustment screws dont work well so i need to open them back up to take care of it. will also paint reflectors black. bottom pic isnt on the most level surface but you can see that the left one is a tad lower than the right
Didn't have to drop my subframe to change my Sway bar either.

been thiking of attempting this my self. how hard has it been?
It's actually a chevy color (sunset orange). You'd be surprised at how many people said it wasn't going to look good. Then when it was finished, they all said it looked good.
hopefully the calipers a member sold me on here get to me today. so i can change the driver side frozen one.. then might be picking up a 626 mani and valve cover soon. got a set of injectors coming in so i can sent them to get clean up then change my stock ones. they have over 200k miles on them pretty sure they are dirty and affecting mileage. but i got lucky and the guy sent me an extra set for free
