I was just down at the body shop, there are starting to sand her. I can try and get some pics as the job progresses if you wish.
awww....yea that would be awesome. If you want i think i forgot my camera in the passenger seat as well. So if you want to take some pics with that too, that would be great. Thanks. I always love progress pics

Damn, the paint looked mint in your avatar... is the white one also yours? lol, they look like little ferraris in the garage!
haha, i know. I like to refer to them as the poor man's ferrari. No its not mine. Its the person who owns the garage's brother. He just got it last week. So that'll add to the NESpeed turbo group

I like the wing that ones got... though your rims would really offset it a lot better. Thatll be seck-C

Its because toyota didnt use a clear coat. So over time it would fade really bad and is especially known for it on the red.

And rcj here is the wing i got
http://www.body-tune.net/toyota/91mr2/whale%20tail.jpg
it looks something like this. This one is a replica though, not authentic like the one i have.

and the rims in my avitar are mine. They are Volk GT-N's. Thats what ill have on it
