« on: January 18, 2010, 12:51:29 AM »

Its going to stay white, no questions.  Only two body "mods" will be silver accent on body trim will be replaced with black and the rear wing from a Z24 Cavilear.

I dont know if acrylic will be too hard for the plastic pieces though?  Anyone?

A restored TGP.. Hell yea.. Cant wait to see the finished product.. Its always easy to say "yea it just needs to get repainted" but when it actually goes to get painted is a different story..

Hes abit lucker than the 2 door people. I cant see how youd fix all the tons of plastic moulding on the side of the coupes, it warps and ripples over time and i dont see how it could ever look brand new.

The reason I bought it (out of Utah) in 2006 was the body was perfect except for the paint, all panels still have the stickers on them, not even door dings. I was truly amazed. 

I signed a contract with the MAX price it could be with the paint shop. This same shop touched up the paint on my 1997, and dependant on the outcome of this car may also paint my 1996.

White is the cheapest paint because it is the base for everything. 

I am going to see if I can get some pictures of the progress through the week.

Now I cant decide of I want white rims or black?  opinions?  I sort of am drawn towards the black, both my daughters want black rims on it.
