Amazing wheels!

This is from the other week.
The Dark Green Pearl Mica is since covered in semi gloss black.

It had some clearcoat peeling, and I filled the stock wing holes, and the body kit wasn't green....so I primered it all.

Soon to be re-greened..unless I like the low maintenance exterior too much LOL

 

[pimptrizkit]

i love the green mica color

having any daylight pics before the primer??

 

[ValgeKotkas]

Very nice indeed.

 

[Stanzaspeed]

the car is looking great evan! i still need to get off my ass and make a day trip down to come see it

 

[garagefujimoto]

Thx to all.
I have a bit of Green left, I'll try to take a pic
But it just look black anyways..

 

[garagefujimoto]

Some old pics from when I got it
It was just a stock green JZA70 TTR
But it had fail grey rims, I think they came from a Soarer/Aristo base model

First night:

Stock Engine before being yarded out to go in an MZ20 Soarer to make room for the 1.5JZ that took forever to show up:

Looking good Evan, can't wait to see it finished.

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Damn, I still hate everyone that paints green cars not green.

But Evan is still G in my book!

 

[garagefujimoto]

I didn't paint it
Just black primer semi-gloss till I find a job

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Oh, Thank goodness. False alarm!

 

[garagefujimoto]

Yeah the hood wasn't the same green
And I filled the antenna and trunk wing holes
And the Shine kit was black
So were the Turbo A duct and FRP headlight doors
And the F fenders had clearcoat peel
So I'm just starting over
I did leave the roof green however

 

[SupraOfDoom]
