Dont have a picture of what it looked like when I first got her.
But this is after i cleaner her up, fixed some scratches bought a repainted the front left fender.
Put on a spoiler and got my decals, hubcaps, most of my system made a custom box, none of the 1/0 gauge wire that is all throughout her
Did not move at this point-

Replacing the clutch, all the brake lines, brakes, front shocks, tires, muffler, made a custom front engine mount, all around engine tune up

Stock 7A-FE

Painted a little, Got a CAI and a Cat-back

Painted alot, with a new 7A-FE

Painted a little bit inside

Painted alot

Got rims and painted the calipers and drums

Got a 250 amp alternator Kinetik batteries all 1/0 guage wiring

Body kit arrived!

Found alot of side rust (all along the side, and under)

Sanded and primed

After a long install, and got underglow

Started prime and paint the kit (temp. getting car repainted next month)

Where she is now, need to finish the paint up tomorrow and slap the rims back on (live in upstate NY so they were off for the winter)





Well thats where she is now, will get good pics tuesday night with the rims and everything painted

looks good, get some red paint in a rattle can and prime it until you can afford to paint it, its a great start to your celi and i look forward to seeing more pics as you keep fixing it up....

Is there some certain type of paint I should use? I really dont know alot about painting, can I use any primer?
If you dont mind could you get me a link to something you would use? (im really clueless about it)
Do you think it will come to a relatively close color? or will it just look stupid?
I really want to do red, but I am on the fence about grey... idk what to do! lol

go to home depot and get a can of rustolium red gloss, it will be a lil different but it covers well and won't look terrible, at least until you can afford to paint the car....thats what i use.

Do I... or well should I wash it down, and wipe it down, and prime it first?
