Ok, the car is back together minus the trim which is getting painted black and getting all the dings out.

The mesh wheels are back (in black) on with some carbon fiber center caps I made with the help of some freebie donor caps from BBS in Braselton. Thanks guys!

Thats it until the motor/suspension goes in springtime.

Feel free to post to in this thread by the way, I dont mind the clutter.

Some pics from Helen today:

Thanks! I need to throw the trim back on and get a new motor in it and it will be set for a while.

I dont know what look I was going for maybe road race esque from the mid 70s/ mild street car with lsb.

We'll see where I go with this one, I just build it one snap decision at a time.

Stick on rubber trim is now on, zender spoiler, new tires, car is lowered about 2.5 inches and has new(er) Sachs struts.

Kind of a sketchy rear pic. Only one I've gotten recently, progress on the Galant and the 02 have been moving so fast recently. I'll get more in a few weeks.

Its in storage right now until I replace the center link and get an alignment. I'm working on putting a fresh motor in too for some crusing this spring/summer.

Updated pics 6/21/2007!

Also a sunlight Laguna Seca Blue comparison for the people that dont think it matches. The paint I used was exterior enamel for outdoor furniture mixed to match. Its not a tri-stage like the BMW paint, so its not a match at night however during the day its REALLY REALLY close.

Another score: Autopower 4 point cage is going in soon.
