#289916 alright here is about my car i bought it as a rebuilt salvage but im pretty sure no one fixed the car from the wreck.. no biggie i work for a body shop and we rebuilld savage cars and sell them.. the car was bought with a jdm b16a and thats about it.

Image
thats the b16a

heres the new head lights i got for it and it setting in the garage with them in for a test fit.
Image
Image
my wheels i picked up was going to do polished faces and anodized purple inserts but thinking going pearl white with them now.
Image
pick of my current dd i found in my photobucket.
Image
getting ready for a mini tuck and shaving.
Image
got it all tore down in the garage for the major repairs
Image
getting the typical rust spots cut out so i dont have to worry about them rusting out later.
Image
Image
the last two i built. the ranger was an your everyday ranger then meand my dad rollpaned front and rear and made a custom color and painted it.
the eclipse was painted smurph blue with latex house paint with im going to guess a roller. and then i basically just painted it like this.

but back to this build i have not a clue what color im going with thought about stock horizon grey metallic. or a white pearl or a black pearl. idk yet i want another set of wheels and thinking going with the drag dr 20s.
have a ww replica front lip and a type r replica rear lip window visors and even the visor for the rear window. let me know what you guys think

#291493 Good choice on fixing I say you stay with that gray looks nice :D and you're correct on the rear disk conversion will need; trailing arms, ebrake cables, 40/40 prop valve (optional) replace trailing arm bushings
Cool dog :thumb:
