The interior is immaculate. No tears, no cracks, no fading. completely intact. Sport seats look like nobody ever sat in them. Wish i could say the same about the body. (plenty dents and plenty scratches... the paint is so-so.. nothing a claybar cant fix)

It that color the fabled "Teenage Slut" red?

[lagoon]

There seems to be a hint of it, although my eyes may be deceiving me. Could it be?!

PS. the parts shot is awesome. C'mon lets see some pics of the whole car!

Teenage slut red?
Nice...

Actually, its a calypso car. (cranberry metallic.. whatever you want to call it)
The lighting is awkward.
Oh yah, and then there always my photo editing.
;)

And i'll try and get more photos of it tomorrow. at school.
Thanks for the photo compliment evo3. In fact most of those parts were paid for by doing photography work. so thumbs up huzzah.

wow, thats alot of stuff.

for me to be jealous about... actually I wish I had a car worth spending that kind of money on. definitely looks like fun though.

[alpinaclone]

That color is crap.

[bimmer_E30]

lucky,. i want lowering springs

[bimmer8604]

Sorry about your tire choice. I also have Traction T/As and hate them. They are way too soft for fun cornering. I would have to say, with my lowered ass car, they wear pretty nice. And they do awesome in wet weather. But if you are thinking about auto-xing or anything more, you're screwed.

But, I would be so excited if I had all those parts to put on my car as i LOVE working on it and I know you will have fun getting to know your car a lot better!

Hey guys. Thanks for the replies.

The tires are just going onto some stock bottle caps. I only bought them cause they were decent and cheap. of COURSE i'll get something much better when i get new rims.

Found this around the forum. (hope the original owner doesn't mind) alot like my car.
Alpinaclone isn't you're car the same color as mine?
