repainting my 82 berlinetta
okay so about 2 years ago my dad was looking for a first car for me and we just happened to find an 82 berlinetta in a parking lot for sale. the owner wanted 500 dollars for a car that ran and my dad couldn't help but take that deal. we took it too the mechanic and after installing a 2 dollar part the engine ran great and it was drivable. pictures are at the bottom of the post, they are self explanatory.
overall we spent about 1000 dollars and it runs great. ill add the latest pic with the stripes after the weather is nicer

Re: repainting my 82 berlinetta
heres after the paint job.
i also forgot to add all the bodywork (which wasnt too bad except a few holes) was all done by me in my backyard with a electric drill and sand paper. overall it came out nicely. *recent pics coming soon*
also in a few months i will be dropping a nice small block of some sort into it any suggestions? and i will be doing some interior work soon hopefully, some idiot Po cut a hole into the back between the two seats and you can see the ground.
also don't use the mini viewer on the site, just double click so you can see it in the true aspect ratio, it looks better that way

That looks great!

It does look funny in the viewer. Once you upload it you can post it directly like this too. Just open it up in a new window and copy the URL into the image window:

I never liked the bumpers on the 82-84 berlis and sport coupes, but that picture abvoe of the red camaro makes it look like it should. Looks great!

Please leave the GFX off of it. Non-GFX cars are getting rare and it's nice to see them pop up from time to time. Nice car BTW!
