Looks great man... thats the one color id love to paint mine but i cant imagine how much of a paint it is to do a color change. On a black car i could see it being easier since you dont have to drop the motor to paint the engine bay. Got me thinking though as i would love to do my car in that color. Keep up the good work!

Quick update to my old thread Winter mods finished finally! Swapped the old 3:23 gear out to a 3:42 from a 2001 with only 29K on it. Tubular LCA's, relocation brackets, and adjustable panhard bar. Lowered 1.5". Cleaned and undercoated complete underside. Installed a K&N CAI. Now if it would just stop raining so I could get it out for a spin!
Next mods are to ditch the Flowmaster exhaust for something else and hopefully a cam. Just need to save up some more cash!
One new picture until I get it out of the garage in some sun for a few better shots.

Looks good! Progress is an amazing feeling, heh.. especially coming from where you started. I'm in the same boat currently.

Thanks for the complements guys.
LT11996 The LCA's and relocation brackets when on the car very smooth. Quality of the parts were very good. I have not driven the car since I installed them because my car is in my new garage that is detached from the house and I don't have a driveway to it. It's been raining here so much the yard is too soft to drive through. Maybe this week we will go long enough without rain that I can get it out.
Merim123, the furnace "squirrel cage" blower has a round hole on each side about 10" in diameter. One end has the shaft coming out with the pully on it, that end I fabricated a cover out of sheet metal and closed off. The other end I fabricated a piece of round duct work about 12" in diameter and 36" long. I ran that into the booth at the rear lower corner and fabricated a box between two of the upright 2x4's and stapled a piece of CPA paint filter material to it that we use at work. Then in the front of the booth up high and on the opposite side of the furnace blower I cut two large openings and installed high quality furnace filters over them to filter the inlet air. At first my inlet air openings were too small and the booth had too much pressure inside. The plastic couldn't take the pressure so I opened up the inlets a bit larger and it worked perfectly. I'll look and see if I took any pictures of the blower setup.
