Just picked this baby up last week for 4000$ and can't wait to get started on it! It's a 1994 GT-S with just over 200000 kms on it, runs like new!
The day I bought her: It's in pretty good shape other than a few minor rust spots that I'll be getting touched up as soon as all the snow melts, and a small dent in the hood. Also the front Toyota badge is broken, just ordered a new one from the dealer today. Hard to see in this picture but it looks like somebody closed the hood and there was something under it and it made the dent and they tried to fix it Some more pictures: First "mod" haha, thought I would take off the badge while I wait for a new one but didn't notice there was 2 holes for it so I left it in (upside down ) Just put a new Alpine head unit in yesterday: Have a 10" JL sub that I took out of my old car, will be building a box and wiring it in when I get a chance Plans: - TRD replica shifter knob (ORDERED) http://www.ebay.com/itm/140920873419?item=...160&vxp=mtr - Black shift boot with red stitching - GT-Four riser blocks (ORDERED) - SpreeLED full car kit (ORDERED) - White or gold wheels, thinking Rota Boost Golds: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CxD1GXhcLmY/UGdA...600/boost_2.jpg - Possibly JDM tails - Short ram intake - GT-Four front end conversion - Mesh for the front grille - Possibly fog lights - Clear sidemarkers and turn signals This post has been edited by PegGTS: Apr 3, 2015 - 3:49 PM -------------------- 2007 Impreza 2.5i - Daily

^^ all the above is 100% correct. i work with plasti dip all the time where i work, I have to paint alot of things with it. Painting is a skill of paitence, you need to take your time with it a far as prepping the wheels and proper time between coats. it will take quite a few coats because of how clear the paint is but once it finished it should lay very flat and smooth and not bubbly at all. just dont spray it on to heavy, just get nice even light coverage through out the wheel until your completely covered. for the peices i have to paint it usually takes about 5-6 coats, but thats because im painting clear plastic black..
really make sure the surface is clean tho and that it isnt to cold, let the wheels sit in the sun to warm them up first before painting them. you dont have to paint them in the sun but id recommend letting them warm up in the sun and letting them dry in the sun after they are painted. Goodluck my man! -------------------- st205 powered ss3 coupe
