New paint for the bird

Just thought Id show a few pictures of the new paintjob. It took three weeks, after hours, and about $350 in supplies, but its done. Im happy. It still needs some work, but mostley details. The spoiler will have to be repainted, but I can at least drive it.

Factory 10 bolt for now. The wheels make it look a bit wider. I just need to lower the front about 1/2-3/4 inch. Id love to do an engine next, and drivetrain, but I also just bought the house in the background, so Im broke.

LOL... I hear ya. I'll tell you one thing though: That TBI will be low maintenance for you if it's been treated right. I'm getting 18 MPG in mixed city/highway driving too!
