    I love the all white no matter what everyone says about black rockers. Way to go man, slam it on some ronals and you would have a pimp ass rig there.

    I bombed Korea every night.

      It looks good, but it could use some contrast.

        looks great! quite a transformation. that's a long ass time for a respray though, unless the necessary bodywork was more rotted than the pic aludes to

        i really like it. but if you take ^that advice and try and get some more contrast, just get black wheels w/polished lip or something.

        and slam it!

          I agree, the all white looks good. But like JWeb said, some contrast would look good with black rocker's.
          Nice Job :up:

            Looks good but needs contrast. And Why oh why did it take so long? I would have forgotten I owned by that point.

              Looks great and glad to hear that the old disable fart managed to get off his ass and finish it.

              To try and answer the qustions of why it took so long

              Old man in his 70-80's was painting the car and i think he has medical issues but im not postive on that but i am sure Ryan (325is_e30) can fill you all in on it. 8)

                    To answer the questions about why it took so long. The guy isnt old, about 45. He is built of plates from crashing on motorcycles (speedway racing) and seems to always hurt his back. The guy is a craftsman and perfectionist and I realized that you cant hurry a craftsman if you want a good job. I am pleased with the job and happy I waited for what I got.
                    I purposly painted the moldings, so idk what you want me to do about contrast. For xmas I got h&r and bilstein combo. I also have wheels and tires, but im not putting them on untill the suspension work is complete.

                      I realize you purposly painted the moldings, I just don't like the way it looks.

                            I think it looks great.. certainly better than 90% of the cars on this forum. I don't see anything wrong with white cars either, it's not much more neutral than silver...

                              I'm digging it. I think once mine finally gets repainted, I'm going to go with something similar in a misano red, I like the body color rocker panels.
