Car finally painted
After months of work and the last 2 weeks of sanding everday after work I finally took her to get some color sprayed on. The subframe, inner fenders and radiator support were powdercoated. Full DSE front suspension and quadralink installed. Mini tubbed, DSE subframe connectors and fully painted and detailed underneath. Wilwood brakes are on. Color was shot last weekend and is out getting sanded and buffed this weekend. Everything was done in my garage and I didn't think I would ever get this far a few times, but I didn't give up and it is sure worth it when it rolls out of the booth.
It will be back Monday and I will start to reassmble.
Heres a few pics

Thanks. The color is Subaru WRX silver. Engine is still up in the air I have some 350s and 400s laying around, but I am thinking all aluminum 572 or Banks twin turbo small block. I will have to see if there is any money left or get a 2nd job. These car hobbies are killer on the pocketbook.

Looks great. My vote is for a mean small block. I don't quite get it when guys go full out on the suspension and then lower a huge chevy big block on the front of it.

I've got the car back from sanding and polishing and now I'm scared to touch it. I started putting it back together and everything(bumpers, bezels, tailights etc.) I thought would be ok to put back on look like crap with the new paint, so I ordered new. The headliner has been installed and I've got the side windows back in. The windshield should be here and installed tomorrow. I've got he Vintage Air Gen II set to install all the dynmat, brake lines, fuel lines, DSE headlight motors and about a million other things. I think I need the rest of the summer off work to finish this thing. I've got lots of pics and more to come as I have time.
