Paint
I painted the car with a friend, it is by no means a show quality paint job, but certainly good enough for a street car. I used high quality paint and materials - cost me north of a $1000.
PPG Epoxy Primer
House of Kolor Stratto Blue (Fine)
HOK Kosmic Klear
Evercoat Rage filler for any spots that needed it
_____________________
Bad:
JB welded oil pan that leaks a few drops of oil
Driver seat does not recline
Cracked dash
The strut inserts on the coils hit very hard so I will be replacing those in the near future with some bilstein sports (currently on billy HD's)
Some rust underneath the battery tray. Can be easily fixed.
Sunroof has a broken clip so it needs help closing. Still works though
No ABS (pulled the bulb) I believe it was a wiring issue at the wheel, but I haven't looked at it in 2 years so I honestly don't remember.

Why I'm Selling
I barley drive this car anymore. It was my intent to paint it and swap it, but I came across a slightly cleaner candidate e30 and decided to use that one for the swap instead. Since this car was already sanded down and prepped for paint I painted it anyway. I'd like to take the money I get from this one and dump it into my other one, plus help pay for an upcoming vacation, and last semester of schooling.
I think with a nice set of wheels this car would be a real head turner. Even the way it sits now, within the last 2/3 weeks of driving it, people are throwing me a thumbs up or stare.
$7500
New Price $6900
