Tailamps, 2 passes of M105, still had some swirls. Didnt want to risk going over the UV coat. Its some 19 year old taillamps.

That is some seriously terrible body shop work!



GREAT job turning it around! Exceptional work!! Not feelin the purple wheels, but other than that, looks nice.
 
Thanks thanks.



The purple wheels were done when we had totally no more ideas for colors.



Green's totally played out, red on red dont really go for him, blue looks like spider man.



So purple, its all rattle can job.



Cheers!
 
I love it! RHD Sickness! I am looking forward to more write-ups from you! awsome job! What motor is in that bad boy!
 
Awsome! Does the owner track the car? B16/b20 setup is a bossy combo, I had a 91 Crx with the b16 head and b18c block. I loved that car, until it got crushed by a tree :( I'll post pics later, I'm on my iPhone right now.
