OMG I Love it!!!!!!! What spoiler is that? How much was the Repaint?

Spoiler is from a Z24 Cavelear.

Stripping car down, Primer, 2 coats of color was just shy of 1K.  It has some blemishes but some touch up paint and a Buffer will fix that.

on my 1989 I was going to convert it to the 1996 body moldings (complete body kit in garage attic), not all of the body panels line up correctly (doors, rear facial).  Good luck.

Looks freakin awsome! I want my white 6000 to be that pretty  :icon_cry:  Just a suggestion, those 3m headlight resotration kits, or some good ol wet sanding and polish would make them yucky yellow headlights clear right up

Single stage. I wasn't looking for any show quality stuff, I just wanted to fix this. (see PIC)

Hard to tell but the paint was literally flaking off the entire car.

I still have a lot to do, like installing my HID's, refinishing all the lights, installing the newer CD player, shampooing the interior, fine tuning.....

Do you mean my old TSTE that I sold to Kenny then bought back? Nope, that, the 1996, and (this week) the 1989 with the built motor will all be in my friends barn for their multi year nap.  The body and paint on that one was repainted before I origonaly got it in 2000. 

This one I got in Utah 4 years ago when I realized how "gone" my 1989 TGP was.  Was going to, and still will, put my built motor & tranny into it in the future.  For now I just need a relaible DD I can fit the family into since the Denali is sold this week.  4-door with kids is a must, plus the 25+MPG with those 24# injectors is real easy to get used to.

Sweet, looks really good. One day when I get married (or grow up) I will have a TSTE...
 Are you running the base line tune I sent you, just tweaked a bit? Or did you go a different route...
