First I want to thank the 6G gods for providing this thread as it makes me feel special and also makes me feel good to show what ive done to my car haha =p
Well being that I am very excited to have my car finally I am very happy to be able to start a thread, although this build will be slow due to school bills and such but I am doing my best trying to get parts here and there when I can. To start I got the car for $750USD; it needed an alternator and tune up so that took some money away from some things I wanted to get off the bat. So far I have mainly done visual modifications and performance in between =) Things I plan to do: -fix rust -re paint -new wheels 15" GT -tint windows - - - -replace hoses. lines, and parts as needed -lower (maybe) -rebuild+turbo More to come =) This post has been edited by NYp8tBaller07: Dec 5, 2011 - 10:24 PM -------------------- ![]() Power in Balance 90 ST coupe- Sold 95 ST hatch- Dead :’( 02 Impreza RS- DD |

So just ordered a spree kit so can't wait for that to come in. I'm thinking seat covers next, anyone have a set in mind that hugs our seats well? Check out some of vincent_doggy's products... great stuff! ... forgot to mention that you can custom order to your color preference as well!

that paint in the valve cover is great stuff, i have seen one technique on utube that u can spray water on ur piece whit a little sprayer, and let the little drip of water dry up completely , so its make real water drip in your paint

after I placed the white down I got the blue, made a few test sprays then I lightly pushed on the top to make the spatter marks. It's almost like when you run out of paint and it just stutters
