Getting there.... One pic for now.
Paint looks lighter than it really is. The blue is viper blue metallic.

It's back!!! Have a few more things to finish up, found a bunch of bad wheel bearings today, but for the most part she's ready to go.

QUOTE (mkernz22 @ Sep 2, 2012 - 7:52 PM) why no rally mudflaps? Still not done yet. If you notice there are no seats or skidplate in those pictures either. I just brought it up from around back to power wash the wheel wells and under the car. Car wont pass tech inspection without the mudflaps, theyll be there.

You need to put brackets on your car so that you can bolt in replacement quarterpanels and the roof.

I'm currently working on my light bar and have come to the conclusion that anything over 7 inches tall and I won't be able to see the road clearly. If I move my setup too far forward I'm afraid I'll bang it up if I make any contact with the front(Inevitable in rally). Then again I could make a 2" riser for my seat bracket, but then again I might have issues with my brain bucket smacking my cage/roof. What kind of lightbar is on your car? It's a shame RALLY USA or NASA GRASSROOTS wont let you have a roof mount light option

it looked close to my color in that first pic. it looks more like the viper color now, but a little more matte.
I cant decide which color scheme I liked more, the old or the new! --------------------  1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |

I cant decide which color scheme I liked more, the old or the new! Well it actually IS the viper color paint haha, same paint code. My camera kinda sucks, so it seems all the colors never turn out right. Really the only difference between this paint and the viper color is that I used a single stage paint. Color/Clear mixed together. So I can't wetsand it and buff it smooth. It has sort of a texture too it that's why it looks matte in the picture. The metallic is very visible in person. Obviously I like the the single stage for the rally car cause it's cheaper and much less time consuming to do. If it wasn't a rally car i'd do a basecoat/clearcoat setup.
