Default 89 RS redone for action

Well guys, after she sat for 9 months, i spent 5 or 6 days fixing the engine, painting the engine bay, reinstalling the engine and getting it running and re primering the car with primer sealer. LMK what you guys think.





















I am picking up a 4 inch cowl hood this weekend, the L88 in the pics flew off at about 140, the hood was old and was damaged from a wreck i was in when it was on my 90 RS, so it was time for another anyways, i will miss it though because no one has a hood like this one.

NEVER!!!!! I like the primer, i am too budgeted to paint it, so it will be quite a while, i have candy red for my 86 TA for my wife, she is concerned about looks, i think it looks fine for now, but when i get the time and $$$ for the paint i wanna go a dark blood red.

single stage is $50 a gallon, primer absorbs moisture, no reason not to paint it.

Well, laquer primer absorbs moisture, i used epoxy primer sealer, hence the satin finish, not the cheap flat black look. It does fine, that **** was 100 for a gallond of it. So i really am not worried about it.
