what is the purpose of the car? drift? hellaflush? street terror? i dont get what you mean by no shop builds and how that relates to a paint job on the car. i would start with the obvious....wheels and suspension......once you get that figured out do some cosmetic and engine upgrades.......people can post pics of 86s all day long....but there are so many ways you can build a car from subtle to extreme and everthing in between....
