I wish more of you lived locally, I would do alot of your paint work for you, actually I wish I could make a good living just doing custom paint jobs, but they are few and far...

 

i told you. if you do it cheap enough. you can fix my TII body and paint

 

maybe i'll let you drive it around. according to road and track it was only .3 seconds slower than 2002 C5 !!!!

 

I drove Jims brothers TII, I want it now, well not NOW, but I hope he sells it after new years or so and Ill be closing on the house and have a place to put it. Why bother painting your car, it wont run for very much longer, lol. I told you a price, your car has a decent amount of body damage, if it was a straight up paint job, it would be alot easier, plus the car is black, and EVERY imperfection shows up with a black car.

i'm more concerned with getting the damage fixed than having super nice paint. i don't even remember how much the $$$$ you gave me was but i'm sure it was approx the value of the car right now paint is not a big deal to me. perhaps when i'm out of debt i will pull the engine again and have it painted and have the engine rebuilt and make the car a real beast. must make TII faster than C5's

 

I see there is no longer any mention of your FD. Not for nothing, IM sure its very nice to have 2 turbo beasts, but maybe you should get a normal everyday car to drive all the time, and concentrate on having one well thought out and executed car. Sadly enough, when you deal with all labor, it can sometimes exceed the value, think about a new engine, turbo, intercooler, etc... its more then the value of a TII by far, but people dont think anything about it for some reason, kinda like people who put thousands upon thousands of dollars in stereo eqiupment in pieces of ****. Speaking of which, my welder friend made some amp rack for Busta Rhymes' Hummer thats going to be in the Import thingy at Englishtown next month I believe.

His TII is one of the most "normal" TII's you'll find around here. <_<

I agree with Rob. All of that extra body work will take ALOT of time. I would guess that a shop would charge at least $3000+ for a GOOD job.

 

IMHO body work can wait. it doesn't make the car faster!



both my cars are highly modded. i think they are quasi reliable. at the current time i don't have the $$$$$$ to get a reliable car. turbovr6 found me a an Audi Turbo Quattro Coupe for $2500. those are damn fun cars. we'll see if i can find $2500 now

 

i'm 20 i'm not suppose to have reliable cars

That is really depressing to hear you say that. Far more money has been put into the body of my car than engine work. I'd say roughly 30% more. Then again, there is nobody worth a **** to do labor or parts into my car as well as I could do. Other than Rotary Performance, which is 200 miles away, and the closest shop. However, good body shops are a dime a dozen around here.



Damn that sucks!! =(
