          I really do lover what you've done to your car. Makes me question going the euro bumper route.

          Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.

              I spent about 600 to do the complete paint job... but I paid zero (myself and a friend did everything) for labor.

                How is your turbo car working? I havent driven mine in about 2 months because of the work ive been doing to it and blowing up my trans. It is killing me..

                  Car looks superb as always. As you already know-and others can see-your car was the inspiration for what I did to mine. I honestly didn't mean to 'copy' it, but you just so happened to already have everything that I wanted to do to mine.

                  Of course, your motor setup is just slightly more involved and powerful than mine! ;)

                  It'a amazing how similar the condition our cars were both in before the work started...very similar.

                    why do you bother?

                    just get euro bumpers.

                        Hmmm....maybe? lol

                        With centercaps on and a regular iS rear lip spoiler, and they are virtually identical. BTW-I bought a new set of door handles, and painted the old set body color as you did. As of now I prefer the black handles, but I still have the other set I can swap on if I change my mind.

                          very nice. how much was it to have your coolant channels welded? the shop i'm using right now is asking $30 per weld, and I have nothing to compare if this is expensive or not.

                            I paid just for the filler rod for the welding... but between the resurfacing and straightening after the fact I have a few hundred into the process.

                                Where can I get the apron and skirts? Did you get new shadowline trim or paint it?

                                You've got me thinking maybe just go the turbo route instead of s52...
