I love it, thanks to Mike!! Its a '90 GL. 4wd, 5spd, injected. Plans are to get a good mechanic to check it all out and respray it. Probably a different color, but we will have to see. Any ideas for color? Plus our other "special" addition. 3 legs + 3 cylinders = totally awesome! Hope you like the pics! -Trevor G

Looks like you shined her up a bit? The pics definitely do that car Justyce. It looks awesome! If you're going to respray the car I'd recommend either the same color, white, or maybe you could go WRX Midnight Black Pearl

Nice dog! Definately a good Justy mascot. Be sure to fix the broken hose/pipe on valve cover. stacks about that pipe piece, is it easily replaceable? You are talking about the one on the intake pipe right?? I think there is gonna be a list of items to work on for it to be top notch! -T

hoses are an easy fix. Just take the hose you need replaced in so they can get the diameter and wall thickness right, and if its broken get a good estimate for length and add an inch or two.

ok, Ive already been planning a re-route. Been to the hardware store, making a stop at the auto parts place this weekend. This is going to be a pretty good project car. Already considering pulling the motor to work on seals, etc. Plus, I will have some axles to replace too!! yay! -T

Also planning on painting very soon. Going for something a little different. Instead of the all flat black like I see all over, on all kinds of project cars.. Im thinking flat white, while keeping black trim parts and painting bumpers and lower part from the door molding down-flat black. Any comments on those colors?

I think usually when you see flat black cars its black primer? At least half the people in this town roll around in primer haha. I actually just came inside from painting below the trim on my car (did some body work) and the flat black looked pretty good. If you wanna get a little different you could go red primer top black primer bottom like a rat rod!

OOooo. I gotta say, thats probably the best color combo. Thats how mines sitting right now, and it looks darn good. I used paint for a barbecue grill though haha. Guess it won't burn off?
