My precious banana two tone is finally here. I left at 5pm yesterday, Just walked in the door 10min ago. Im tired as fuck. I need to take a nap

Because out of the 200 originally made, lets say 100 are salvagable, 20+ are painted, 20 are just rotting away at the side of someones house (like this one), 40 ish are probably driven around by old ladies.

Hmm what was I doing in 89? I was 9 yrs old and I had a 386 computer that was 8mhz or if I pushed the turbo button it went to 16mhz and the OS was Xtree gold.

All base models.
All came automatic
All came with brown interior
All came with hub caps

Lavender Frost 89
Blue metalic two tone 89-90
Green metalic two tone 89-90

Its Creamy yellow two tone. Ive seen 1 in real life before, and 5 on the net. I used to like the blue two tone the best but then the yellow one grew on me. Then I tried to find one to buy, and not being able to find any, made me want it even more.

Thanks, did you ever see my blue on blue hatch? Though it was faded ass paint. Midnight Blue pearl is probably the hottest color s13 came in.

What about the Z?

I actually became obsessive about the yellow two tone. Made a pic folder on the computer for them. Then over the years I had 5 different ones and started photo shopping them stock with tear drops (looks 17") then placing them in different places to pretend Im driving them while listening to music on the computer. Even burned yellow by coldplay because of it. When I say I wanted the yellow two tone bad, I did not mean normal person wanting something, more like a psychotic need for one.

Here are some

Someone did patch work on it with epoxy or fiber glass or somthing. Looks like tar. And since I stripped it out, having crap looking stuff like that doesnt fly.

TheSnail
06-03-2007, 07:57 PM
It looks like a 1950's fridge yellow. The name of the color from the paint code is " creamy yellow". I was picking this car up yesterday @ 8, and I havent driven the z since october so it wasnt me.
