never posted any of my cars here before but have been lurking and posting here there since I bought my first 240 back in dec 06

as for the paint, I had some crappy primer laying around that shot very ... crappy. lol but it turned out decent for spending $20 on sand paper and $80 bucks for a single stage paint.
It was my first "full" paint job so it had some orange peel buf after many hours of sanding and buffing I think it turned out good.

it used to be oem purple....

haha... no she was dumb and went primary on a loan with her BF for it... then they broke up so shes stuck with it.

thanks - yeah pics make it look awesome, its decent in RL

ehh, for the s14 im selling it to my grandma :gotme haha! she needed a car...and well it'll stay in the family, hopefully she wont crash it. so its staying completely stock.

i've got suspension done on my s13... just been so lazy to paint it - went with stance gt coilovers, buncha spl parts, hicas removal, solid subframe, full energy suspension kit, z32 calipers...I took pics along the way so I was thinkin of posting a thread, but ehh maybe after paint haha.
