The Exterior
Well... I want a smooth body and cool paint...
I am going to be doing all of the body work at my house or at my stepfathers work(autobody). I have to replace the doors on the car because of a rust problem. I want to replace the frontend with a fiberglass frontend from hairyglass.com but if I cant fit it in my budget then ill get a nose off a 87 or 88 turbocoupe to give the front end a smoother look. A fiberglass hood and trunklid will also be on my "got to have" list. I am going to sand down the whole car and fill in any holes that are left when the side moldings come off. I am also going to remove all of the badges that are on the car to give it a smoother look. Shaved handles are also on my priority list.
Where the mirrors are on the car now is going to be filled in and painted body color. I am then going to get some hotrod mirrors and fasten them to the door skin. I would also like to find some scoops that I can put on the side of the car and let them be functional when I install disk brakes to cool them(you never know when your going autocrossing). Another minor detail is that im going to shave the antenna and put it in the headliner. I am not sure about paint though... I would like multicolor paint(silver to green to black) or I would like a black paint job with flames. I think that either of the two would be awsome! but thats just my opinion...
More will be added as I go through stacks of random drawings and idea lists...
