    none for now.
    the car is at the painter getting the finishing touches to make it perfect.
    the goal now, is to be done by the end of this month.

    Think I've seen this thing more than Brian has.

    Such is the case with long distance restoration relationships.

    I am going to see the car tomorrow at Josh's. he did a ton of work the past few days, and sent me pics of it being buffed tonight. after that just the side moldings and side skirts go on.
    so i will go check it out and give it the OK and then it will be trucked back to Parts Score for the rest of the job.

    and yes Paul you are correct. Living in Anthem, Josh is painting at 30th St. and Thomas, and Parts Score is in Tempe on 23rd and Priest. and i'm driving a lease for 15k miles/year and i just hit 15k in 10 months

    body work is just about finished. probably 95% done. the color after buffing is beautiful, and the side moldings being on make it look more complete.

    two new pics from this morning from Josh. It's finally on its way back to Parts Score for the home stretch. Josh did an amazing job at the paint.


    this is the first i've seen of it with the front bumper and the side skirts installed. sooooo sick.
    sorry for bad cell phone pics

    i'm not too happy with the shape of the exhaust tip. Where is the best place to buy just tips that i can have welded on in place? O'Reilly, pep boys? i want dual round shiney tips

    other than BFI, where can i get another euro vr6 chin spoiler from? a boo boo happened when coming off the flatbed. bumper is OK.
    I had the JOM one from BFi but where the two pieces joined it was like a half inch exposed area that i wasn't keen on.

    ah Very nice.

    as for the chin spoiler, its worth the money for the better one. Im pretty sure mine was OEM and I had it since 2000, just sold the car. 12 years on a chin spoiler has to be some kind of record.
