more paint!!!!



















These final three are finished pics but it hasn't gotten through a final, thorough buff. We are waiting to get it assembled and then we go with a nice buff/polish.

So, what do you'll think? Paint is called Charcoal Pearl. Its from a Honda Accord coupe! At this point, this is where we are at with the car. She was picked up by Eric (see his truck in the back!!) and taken to the carpet guy. From there, back to VRE for final assembly and tuning!!

Man, it has now been a year and some, and i think i have went through all types of conditions. But i will say that I just cannot wait to get my car back!!! I really appreciate everything Eric and Nick @ VRE have done for me. They have especially dealt with my pain-in-the-*** self and my phone calls!!

thanks ya'll!! now get back to work and finish her up!

well, or have the car sit for a year and have all the money i would put into it like gas...

i did have to take out a small loan that is now paid off, but its really not much. The turbo kit was the most thats for sure!!

yeah, when she gets finished, we want to certify it and track it milan or one of the thousand drag strips in MI. Down here in south florida, well, miami area, we have one. and not a very good one at that!

thanks ****!!!!
