Looking very good as usual man. When do you think she is going to be drivable? Should be nice, I can't wait for the LCA from you too! Ugh, so anxious. The only thing thats pissing me off is that once i drive it, I'll know what else is wrong with it... Whatever, I guess thats what i get for continuously buying 19 year old cars!

yeah the pics dont really show it so i'll snap some pics tomorrow, but the paint is like %75 good. theres lots of bad spots, which isnt surprising since red never holds up well. the hood is faded, the hatch and p side qp are faded, it'll need touched up were i patch teh rust on teh rear d side qp and rocker panels. and the new hood, fender, bumper and bumper extensions will need painted too. since i have that much to paint, it'll be easier to do the whole thing and know it'll match

lol you and my brother are on the same team. he wasnt it to stay red, he says the kouki tails look great against the red car (can't argue with that). he also wants me to ditch the type x aero though.
