The car is Coral Red Metallic...the paint code is in my sig I don't remember it off the top of my head. The original color was maraschino red. The Coral Red flops a lot in the sun so it kinda depends on what time of day you take the pics. These were taken right when the sun was going down. In the sunlight it almost looks orange though.

The rockers that are on my car in the avatar were GT-Racing. They didn't fit very well though so I removed them and put the AIR boxed looking rockers. They fit much better and were 10x as sturdy as the previous ones.

I say don't put the sideskirts back on. I looks waaaaay better without them. Just my opinion.

Great job!

I know it must've been heartbreaking to see it in such poor shape, but the rewarding feeling you must have right now must be awesome. The car looks better than it did before!

Now go drive it! I don't have to tell you to be careful
Ha ha, yeah....heartbreaking for him to wheel around an S2 and my turbo for the entire year that this project took....

Pitiful I tell ya...., poor kid.....

I helped him along the entire route, rebuild his engine, give him a nice cozy heated spot right inside the shop to work on this thing and this is how he treats me.....
