What a weekend.. Finally saw the new colour in the flesh for the first time.. Its a special graphite grey, the code of which shall remain secret but I am really really happy with it, it's exactly what I wanted. The phone camera does not do it justice, a proper photoshoot will be most definitely be in the works when the paint is fully finished and the car is rebuilt and back on the road. This is the finish straight off the gun, the car still has to be "flicked" back and polished up again, and the bumpers, doors, skirts, bonnet etc still have yet to be done.
Also got the new 195/60 Falken ZE912's exploded onto the TE37V's with the help of a bead-blaster, they survived the experience unscathed and have a perfect amount of balloony tyre stretch.. Works very well for the all important Arch/Tyre/Wheel fitment triangle!! These next shots were taken a few days after the earlier shots so the car is quite a bit dustier now, and again the camera does not do the colour justice but the fitment is clearly visible :)
All painting and final polishing should be completed by this Friday, and I plan to start rebuilding the car early next week! More pics then. Hope you like the progress so far!
gorgeous colour. can't wait to see the finished product, thats gonna be one of, if not the nicest ae86's in the country! japan will want it back!!
