LOU , Your Bird looks awesome and thanks for sharing these pics friend. :headbang:
Very nice and NEW looking :) (New with the exception of that sweet engine you put in there which is better ;) ).
looking good thunder!!!!!
sweeeeeet :D
Nice job. Car looks great.
Lookin' good as usual.
Lou, I don't think pics do your car justice. I think it looks way better in person, especially under the hood. Having said that, it's looking sharp!! Like everyone already said, as usual.
I still think it needs a new paint job. After 22 years it's got some nicks and tiny dents;)
I thought the same thing about mine. I got it repainted due to a few nicks, dents, etc and now people that have known the car for years don't even notice it was painted. They just always go on and on about how I have taken care of it so well. When I tell them I had the car painted they never really believe me!:punchballs:
I've often wondered if anyone would notice I had the car painted as well. It looks really good for 22 year old paint. It's just not "show room prefect" which bugs me a bit;)
I'm not an authority on value, but one thing for sure is, cars only have original paint once. I, personally, would pay more for a really nice original paint car than I would pay for a really nicely repainted car. It's up to the owners, but my advice (FWIW) is not to make the repaint decision lightly.
I agree. The reason I had mine painted was that the trunk lid was oxidized bad, had rust starting just in front of the rear wheels (just teeny tiny little bubbles, and I wrecked the car when I was 17 and the body work done was OK but far from perfect.
If your original paint is very nice with just a few tiny imperfections, it might actually be better to keep it original. You'd be very very hard pressed to find one of our cars with original paint in good condition...unless its one of those you see on ebay with 20,000 original miles or something.
I'd like to keep it original but I think it will get painted at some point. It has some tiny rust bubbles on the driver's side where the quarter meets the rocker. That means I should have the whole car painted;). I've got some more pics to link to. The guy you see with me leaning under the hood has a Mark VII. I was explaining to him why you can't run an E303 cam with SD and why that cam would not be a good choice for his car....

Good lord that's clean! I want my engine bay to look that clean after my swap!!

Though tonight I made at least a little progress in making my TC a little cleaner in the meantime. Definitely the cleanest I've seen my TC's engine bay.
