I know I would be rather busy driving it around.
Looks good
I hope it inspires many to follow suit. We need more super clean looking first gen's running around.

Awesome job dude.

I especially like your antenna

I can't wait to see more of it. Keep up that unending rotary spirit!

Looks fantastic!

I have always liked a good set of the Stock X wheels with raised white letter tires (like the original Bridgestones my 83 GSL had way back when). I wish I could put them on my SE, they are so much more interesting than the SE wheels imo. I have a set of the X style wheels completely refinished to brandy new sitting in my garage that I bought before I knew the bolt pattern was different. I have often considered attempting to backlevel the bolt pattern to get them on when it seems everyone else wants to move forward.

Great work man! Hope my SE looks that clean one of these days.

I agree, I've always thought the X wheels are underrated and along with the raised white letters they establish a standard for the 1st gens.

Great looking car.

Is it just me or does the white make the tail lights look narrower than that of the brown??

More pics!!
