[JDMBeau]

haha thanks, ive only had it for 2 days now, and ive already cleaned up the interior, put in a new tranny, and wet sanded the whole car. im thinking about laying down a satin black job just for temp. until it gets warmer and it can get its coat of imola orange. even though today would be perfect for paint lol
