Before and after pics of my car
I picked this car up in atlanta back in march. The paint was rough, and had rust on the body around the windshield, I also later found out that i was in need of a front suspension pan replacement. After all of that was fixed, it was time for a repaint. The car was originally silver, and someone decided it would look better Maroon, for some reason. I decided to go back to silver. The color i picked was titanium silver metallic from an 02 BMW M3. I have worked out all of the bugs on this car, i even have the A/C working great, with just a a receiver/dryer, and expansion valve replacement, with Freeze12. NO more oil leaks either. I also upgraded the dashboard that allows for the larger center vent. Here is before
  and just after the repaint, and suspension pan replacement  reassembly  finished product

Nice job. As much as I like maroon on a long hood, silver works way better on an SC.

Looks good. I'm in Knoxville and saw this car when you posted it up on Street Car Forums. Shoot me a PM or something. You need to get that bad boy out and autocross it. We had a PCA event at Pellissippi this past Sunday. Here is the obligatory pic of my '77 Carrera 3.0. =)

Way to go! Busy bee for 5 months! It's looking a heck of alot better now in the silver with those nice black centered/somewhat semi-polished lip Fuch's, it looks like it's ready for street business now, show off alittle & keep cool doin'it! Boy that white on white is stunning too! Like the H4's too.
