resprayed all of the plastic/vinyl interior to black, with red highlights.

Exterior:



When I purchased the car the paint was faded in some spots, and completely peeled off in others. Instead of doing a respray, I stripped the car down to the metal and gave her a fresh start.






After stripping it down, the paint process was stalled for 1 month while I went looking for a new place to spray and do the body work.

a few weeks in:




Chose to stay with the red. Darkened the red a bit and used a single stage pearl and cleared over.





took it to Western in 2009...damaged my radiator.



Here it is today..4 coats cut and polish and I think it still needs at least 2 more.









thanks for looking.

Very nice!

Who made that centre vent 60mm X 3 guage pod?

I got the same shift boots off ebay, the seller uses my pic in his ads.

I think someone in duncan or Cambell River molded the center vent, I took it from another skyline a while back.
