now it just seems like ur getting slammed on for the paint, either way... your hatch came along way and looks really clean for whats its worth

Car has a lot of character. I wish my browser didn't cut off some of the pics. Then again it only started doing it since the server swap.

Sick hatch. You know what would look really good imo....painting the wheels white.

i got them used off zilvia. i cant find hanabis anywhere... where did you find them? and were they 17x9? im pretty sure these have been discontinued for a while.

I'd call before placing an order. It's not really clear what size you're ordering here. And who knows? This could be old and they might be out of stock...

i hate when you first get a car and dont know what your doing for awhile with it...lookin nice now though
what all have you done besides wheels, coils, and spraypaint?

[240lookis]

i swapped in a rebuilt ka24de with new header and solid shifter and stage 1 clutch. it has rucas too. i completely stripped the interior and sprayed it white as well. i think thats essentially all of it.

I really like the way your car sits.You did the right things first.Suspension,brakes first than motor,transmission than paint.

[nismobenzo]

ah sounds like we got the same thing goin on besides i have full interior and i havnt put on headers or any of that.
you gota open diff or whats ur plans for that?

mkay, i understand... you should invest in a air compressor and a paint gun...would save you money in the long run and you could learn alot from it...and it could not look like crap

i highly disagree,

you can invest in a gun and a compressor and end up with moisture in your lines and still have a crappy paint job.

so then you could invest in a moisture catch and end up with dirt and bugs and fish eyes in the paint...... and still have a crappy paint job.

then you could invest in a booth, and find out that you didnt know how to use the equipment........ now your out of alot of money, and still have a crappy paint job.

so lesson here, rattle can doesnt always look bad, car doesnt have to be show quality to look good.

keep up the good work man, ive seen the whole build and like where its headed, bout to start mine hope it looks half as good as yours A+ sir.

[240lookis]

these are my exact thoughts. i can do a pretty damn good rattle can with proper prepping and good weather. weather can be tricky in seattle though... i am still stuck on whether to do gloss black or a better red when i finally get around to it.

right now i am still running open diff. welded diff is the next on my priority list.

nniicceeeee... i want your wheels... what sizes are they?

[240lookis]

they are 17x9 +20 with 25mm spacer all around 215/45 rear 205/45 front.

[project213]

i think black would look good especially with the bronze. i know how the seattle weather is, i lived there for about a year and i could see how painting would be difficult. im lucky enough to live in fla so my biggest problem wen it comes time to krylon my project will be bugs. im planning on getting the body strate the doing satin black and wet sands until its perfect
