Got my 3rd 3rdgen! (Anyone do paint?)

Finally got myself into another 3rdgen, after only like 2 months haha.

1991 Formula 350.

Heres the only shot I have of it tomorrow, wont be able to pick it up untill tomorrow morning but i'll have some more shots of it after i get home from work.



Fully loaded, not sure what rear, havent checked yet...was to busy telling myself i bought another car.


Needs a headliner and some paint(badly) So i was wondering if any of you local guys knew of anyone, or if you guys do paint yourself and how much it would cost me.


thanks.

Geoff

nice find, looks straight and with alittle paint should be sharp looking.

Thanks!

My dad called me as I was on my way to Cecil County Dragway and told me about it. Was in the back of a stealership about 10-15 min from my house. But even after hauling *** on the highway to get back home i missed the guy i needed to talk to

needs a tuneup hardcore. waiting for my checks to clear to go ahead and order the parts.

Hoping to have it at the track by next friday. Busted a trans mount already LOL.

I need to do something with the fans, they dont seem to be turning on at all. i dont know where the relay is for them though :/

Driver side cowl or whatever you wanna call it by the firewall.

Most likely there will be 3 relays, 1 for fuel pump and 2 for fans...fans i think i have 5 wires going into them.

Re: Got my 3rd 3rdgen! (Anyone do paint?)

I'll paint it for you!!! I have never actaully painted a car before but I saw it on TV and I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. I'll help though. I have a paint gun as well. I am trying to learn how to paint but I have nothing to put paint on.

Later
