I am going to paint it black. I molded the kit myself. It was my first body job. I love doing body work my friend and his dad taught me how to do body work. It is very hard work!! I have more pics but I want to save them for when the car is finished.

thanks guys yea its a gp sports body kit. Dusty boogers LOL yea many of them. I love the wooden rectangular sand (not sure of its offical name). I had great teachers man. Its hard work but fun as hell.
I will post 2 more pics guys. I have many pics of the whole project. I completely removed everything from the flywheel back and recoated after I fixed some minor rust spots. Where the floor board and the rocker panels meet was the worse near the front tires they actual went all the through. I could see the ground. I welded new metal in and fiberglassed it top and bottom. From there I went on to the whole rear of the car. It has a T2 drivetrain all the way back. I painted and glossed the rear subframe the tariling arms the diff tranny and driveshaft are painted with 1200 temp paint. I just wanted everything coated so that it withstands the weather.
Here are some early photos of the bodywork before the body kit:

hehe I don't really like the side molding as you can tell. I was going for the clean look I really like it. The front bumper wasn't fitting correctly and I don't really want put it on. I am going with the stock bumper and a front lip.

yeh Im having side moulding taken out at well.
I really wish I had the time and space to try this all myself, but ended up giving to a shop to do the work.
also I've got the same gp sports kit, just im flaring mine as well, should looks good in black, that was my first choice, but I know how hard it is to keep clean, so Ive opted for a really dark blue/purple.
but yeh looks good
